Accident Insurance Coverage Options

You’ll shop accident insurance coverage, decide the coverage you’d like, and how much coverage you’d like.  Some options to consider are:

  • Accidental Injury
  • Hospital Admission
  • Critical Illness
  • Accidental Death & Dismemberment

Accidental Injury Coverage

Accidental injury covers expenses in addition to benefits received from other insurance companies. 

Let’s your insurance coverage only covers a percentage of services like surgeries, ambulance transportation, x-rays, etc, and you’re stuck with the remaining portion of the bill, the accidental injury will help cover the amount of expenses that are out of your pocket.

Critical Illness

If something dramatic occurs to you health-wise, and you can’t work,  critical illness coverage is designed to supplement income while you’re recovering.

Examples

  • Heart Attack
  • Stroke
  • Cancer
  • Coma
  • Paralysis
  • Organ/Tissue Failure
  • Third Degree Burns
  • End-Stage Renal Failure
  • Loss of Hearing
  • Loss of Speech
  • Loss of Vision
  • Brain Tumor
  • Heart Illnesses

Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D)

Just like it sounds, AD&D offers financial benefits to you if one or more limbs are severed. This benefit can help pay for hospital bills, rehab expenses, and prosthetics.

Hospital Admission

Hospital admission coverage offers a financial benefit to help pay for the medical expenses in case you get sick.  Remember, most health insurance plans only cover a portion of the medical bill along with copays.  This coverage helps pays the remainder that you owe.
