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)

Mountain Bike Accident

Warren was mountain biking with friends in the hills near his home, and an errant rock caught his front tire. He went over the handlebars and landed badly on his hand and shoulder.

  • Ground ambulance
  • Emergency room
  • X-ray
  • Dislocated collarbone
  • Wrist fracture
  • Hospital admission

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
  • CAT scan
  • Hospital admission
  • Five-day hospital stay
  • Leg fracture

benefit will be payable.
No benefit is payable for Coma or Paralysis if Coma or Paralysis is the result of a Critical Illness for which benefits are
otherwise payable under the Policy.
With the exception of benefits that may be paid on behalf of a Covered Person in accordance with the Recurrence
Benefit:
1. The sum of benefits paid for a Covered Person under each Category shall not exceed 100% of the Initial Benefit
Amount for each Category; and
2. The sum of all benefits payable for a Covered Person under the Policy shall not exceed the Maximum Benefit Amount
shown in the Certificate Schedule of Benefits.
Benefits will not be paid for Critical Illnesses in more than a single Category during any 180-day period. However, this
does not apply to multiple benefit payments for Critical Illnesses within the same category, unless the Initial Benefit
Amount has been paid.
In the event benefits for a Covered Person are paid for a Critical Illness and within 180 days the Covered Person is
Diagnosed with a Critical Illness from another Category with no benefit paid, any recurrence of the latter Critical Illness
will be treated as an original Diagnosis with benefits paid accordingly.
If two or more Critical Illnesses are Diagnosed at the same proximate time, the benefit paid will be based upon the
Diagnosed Critical Illness providing the largest benefit.
The Company will NOT pay benefits for a Critical Illness, if it is caused by or results from:
1. intentional self-inflicted injuries;
2. suicide, or any attempt at suicide, while sane or insane;

cause of loss, or loss occurred.
The Company will NOT pay any benefit for a Critical Illness if:
1. A Critical Illness is Diagnosed outside the United States or a covered procedure is performed outside the United
States; or
2. the Covered PersonÂ’s date of birth, age or sex was misstated in the Enrollment Form and at the correct date of
birth, age or sex the coverage would not have become effective or would have terminated.
