What Is Accident Insurance?

Accident insurance can help keep your finances on track when an accident happens.

Your medical insurance will cover some of the expenses, but you'll be left to foot the bills for your copays and deductible. Those can add up fast, especially if you're unable to work while you recover. That's where Group Accident insurance comes in: It helps protect your bank account from the out-of-pocket expenses that can come with an injury - whether you're coping with a broken arm or recovering from a serious car accident.

How Does Accident Insurance Work?

In the event of a covered accident, your Accident insurance will pay a benefit directly to you. You can use this money wherever you need it most - whether that's to help with your deductible, copay and other medical bills, or your daily expenses while you recover.

BENEFIT EXAMPLES

Don't Let an Accident Stop Your Financial Plans

Accident insurance is an affordable way to help cover the gap between what your health insurance covers and what you'd owe out of pocket if you or a family member were to get injured. It's protection that's also convenient.

Falling Off a Ladder

While cleaning the gutters, Kang lost his footing and fell off the ladder. He felt a lot of pain, but thought that a little ice would fix him up. The next day, he was in worse shape and visited an urgent care facility where it was determined that he had fractured his arm and dislocated his elbow. He then needed some physical therapy to get back to full strength. His Accident Insurance benefits helped protect his savings from the out-of-pocket costs he incurred.

Kang's insurance paid benefits for:

  • Urgent care
  • X-ray
  • Dislocated elbow
  • Arm fracture
  • Physician follow-up
  • Physical therapy (two sessions)

  • Ground ambulance
  • Emergency room
  • X-ray
  • Dislocated collarbone

Dante was visiting a nearby city and taking a walking tour to see the sights. While crossing the road, he was struck by a car. An ambulance took him to the hospital, where they found multiple fractures. Because of the severity of his injuries, he had to stay in the hospital for five days. The benefits from his Accident Insurance coverage helped him cover his copayments and meet the deductible under his medical insurance plan as well as some of the out-of-pocket expenses related to his family's travel to and from the hospital. He even used part of the benefits for his prescribed physical therapy to help him get back on his feet.

Dante's insurance paid benefits for:

  • Ground ambulance
  • Emergency room

While we've grown so fast, it has not been at the expense of the human factor, so vital to this business. Efficiency is emphasized. However, we try never to lose sight of the personal aspects of our relations with policyowners and business clients, as well as our own agents and employees." Leonard H. Savage, President 1948-1973, Standard Life and Accident Insurance Company.
