Accident insurance is a supplemental policy that can help provide support amidst life’s most unexpected moments, since it’s not uncommon for health insurance to leave you with high out-of-pocket costs. This plan works with your primary medical insurance plan to help with expenses that can accompany an unexpected covered accidental injury.1 Keep in mind that one must typically own a major medical plan to access supplemental accident insurance.
Aflac’s accident insurance plan for individuals and families helps cover treatments and procedures needed to restore your health after an emergency situation or more common accident. There can be a great deal of treatment fees that exist outside of hospital bills. Aflac pays you cash benefits directly (unless assigned), which can be used to help cover co-pays, deductibles or other out-of-pocket expenses. If you have additional questions about what accident insurance covers, you can always reach out to an Aflac agent for more information.
Like many of Aflac’s supplemental insurance plans, accident insurance costs are relatively low and fit into most budgets. For example, a broken arm or leg can cost thousands of dollars.2 Your major medical insurance plan may pay for a certain percentage of treatments and services required, but not all. Applying for an accident insurance plan at a low monthly cost can help offset any out-of-pocket costs you may be expected to pay after a covered accident occurs.
