Accident Expense Plus
The intelligent, affordable way to complete your health insurance program

Imagine a financial tool that:

  • Helps cover deductibles, co-pays and other expenses not covered by your primary major medical plan.
  • Pays medical benefits to you regardless of other coverage you have.
  • Rapidly reimburses you for a wide variety of medical expenses related to accidents.
  • Provides lump sum payouts if you're diagnosed with any of three major critical illnesses.

Accidental Injury Insurance + Critical Illness Insurance = Accident Expense Plus

That's Accident Expense Plus®—an economical and intelligent way to protect your family from today's high health care costs. Accident Expense Plus provides benefits for a wide range of accident-related costs, from emergency room visits to physical therapy to diagnostic exams even surgery. The "plus" is an optional Critical Illness Rider that can pay a lump sum benefit if you're diagnosed with invasive cancer, heart attack or stroke.

To cope with skyrocketing medical costs, more and more employers and individuals are choosing major medical insurance policies that have increased deductibles and co-pays. While these plans often make health insurance premiums more affordable, they also shift responsibility for a large portion of health care costs to you.

Accident Expense Plus is perfect for individuals and families who would like to experience fewer out-of-pocket medical expenses in the case of an accident or critical illness.

Flexible Policy Options
Accident Expense Plus allows you to choose deductible amounts ranging from $0 to $500. And calendar year benefit maximums in increments of $1,000 up to $15,000. Annual benefits for Critical Illness Rider are $5,000, $10,000 $15,000, $20,000 or $25,000. Accident Expense Plus gives you the power to tailor your benefits to your budget and your individual needs.
