Accident and sickness insurance vs. health insurance

After you sustain an accident or sickness, your primary health insurance will help cover some treatment costs. But there’s a good chance you’ll be left with out-of-pocket medical expenses, as well as a variety of non-medical expenses. Accident and sickness insurance is intended to complement your primary health plan and provides cash benefits you can apply toward any costs you’d like.

Who should get accident and sickness insurance?

You might want to invest in accident and sickness insurance if any of these situations apply to you:

People who want coverage for everyday injuries

The reality is that an accident or sickness can happen at any moment. An accident and sickness policy can protect you financially in case the unexpected occurs.

Parents

If you have children that are prone to accidents, accident and sickness insurance may come in handy. It may help you avoid the high out-of-pocket expenses you might face as a parent.

People with active lifestyles

While living an active lifestyle comes with many benefits, it also increases your risk of accidents. If you consider yourself active, accident and sickness insurance can provide you with peace of mind.

People who want an affordable supplemental insurance plan

Your primary health insurance plan won’t cover all the expenses that an accident or sickness may bring. An accident and sickness policy can help reduce the out-of-pocket costs you may incur without breaking the bank.
