Keep reading to find out what accident and sickness insurance is and how it works so you can decide if it makes sense for your unique situation.
Accident and sickness insurance is designed to help support you financially if you’re unable to work after a covered injury or illness. As long as you pay your premiums, you’ll receive cash benefits to put toward medical and non-medical out-of-pocket expenses that you might face. 1 This type of policy can help give you some peace of mind when a new, unexpected accident or injury pops up. Aflac’s accident insurance offers affordable coverage to individuals and groups. You can enroll quickly and customize your plan to meet your particular needs.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Help cover yourself and your family with affordable coverage from Aflac.
Fortunately, accident and sickness insurance is usually affordable, especially when you compare it to other types of policies. Depending on the plan you have, monthly premiums may range from $4 to $50. 2 Factors like the insurance company, type of coverage, and number of people covered will all play a role in the cost. You can get an accident insurance policy from Aflac and enjoy low premiums.
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.
You might want to invest in accident and sickness insurance if any of these situations apply to you:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ideally, you’d never experience an accident or illness. Since this is unlikely, however, accident and sickness insurance should be on your radar. It’s an affordable way to help protect yourself from hefty out-of-pocket expenses.
With Aflac’s accident insurance, you can collect cash benefits after a covered accident and injury. This may alleviate financial stress and allow you to direct your attention toward recovery. Start chatting with an agent today for more information or a quote.
