FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Life can change in a second. Be ready.

Accidents happen. Financial hardship doesn't have to. Cash benefits are paid to you in the event of a covered injury, so you can focus on your recovery instead of your finances.

Supplemental Accident Insurance helps with what your health insurance plan might not cover. Cash benefits are paid directly to you (unless assigned otherwise) to be used however you choose.


Group Accident Insurance helps pay for out of pocket costs that arise from

covered accidents such as fractures, dislocations and lacerations.
