2017 Open Enrollment 


Don't be caught off base!

Why do I need Accident Insurance? Other medical insurance coverage offsets most of the treatment costs for injuries resulting from an accident. But what about the out-of-pocket costs you don't consider? There's time off from work while you or a loved one convalesces, doctor visits and hospital co-pays, medical insurance deductibles, maybe child care expenses -- even stocking up on ibuprofen and bandages! It's inconvenient, expensive, and can make a serious dent in a family's savings. Accident insurance provides a hedge against this possibility, paying a fixed, lump-sum benefit for injuries resulting from a covered accident -- up to and including death if your employer's plan includes that provision.
  • In 2005, about 1 out of 9 Americans sought medical attention for an injury. The economic impact of these unintentional injuries mounted to about $2,200 per person, or about $5,700 per household.
