Supplemental insurance can pick up where health insurance stops, paying benefits directly to insureds, unless otherwise assigned, to help them manage their out-of-pocket medical and non-medical expenses.
Accident insurance
For covered accidental injuries — minor and major.
Hospital indemnity insurance
For covered admission or confinement to a hospital.
Critical illness insurance
For serious and potentially life-changing covered illnesses and health events.
