Group Accident Insurance  

Overview

An unexpected injury-related accident could mean a trip to the emergency room. And unanticipated, uncovered, after-treatment ER bills can add up quick. Your major medical insurance will help with many of your expenses, but wouldn't you feel better knowing you'll have extra help paying some of your bills?

  • How can this help me?

    Most families don’t budget for the costs associated with accidents. If an accident does occur, the last thing on your mind is the charges accumulating while at the emergency room.

     

    These costs can add up fast. Most families have medical insurance that will cover a majority of the expenses. But, what about the out-of-pocket expenses, such as lost wages from being out of work or staying home to care for an injured family member? You hope that an accident never happens, but at some point you very well may take a trip to your local emergency room. If that time comes, wouldn’t it be nice to have an insurance plan that pays you a benefit regardless of any other insurance you have? This plan does just that, providing a cash benefit to cover the costs associated with unexpected covered accidents.

  • When can I enroll?

    As a new hire, you can enroll during your new hire enrollment period. Outside of your new hire enrollment period, enrollment is limited to the company’s annual enrollment period.
  • What if my employment status changes?

    When you leave or retire from your current employer, you can continue your coverage without interruption, subject to applicable law and the plans' terms and conditions. Although payroll deduction will no longer be available, you can opt for other payment methods such as direct bank account deduction, credit card billing or home billing. Higher rates may apply.
