Accident insurance supplements your primary medical plan by providing cash benefits in cases of covered accidental injuries. You can use this money to help pay for medical expenses not paid by your medical plan (such as your deductible or coinsurance) or for anything else (such as everyday living expenses).

Benefits are paid:

• Directly to you, unless assigned to someone else
• In addition to any other coverage, like your primary medical plan or an Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) plan

You receive a cash benefit up to a specific amount for:

• Accidental death
• Dismemberment
• Dislocation or fracture
• Initial hospital confinement
• Intensive care
• Ambulance
• Medical expenses
• Outpatient physician’s treatment

The actual benefit amounts depend on the type of injuries you have and the medical services you need.

Critical Illness coverage protects against the financial impact of certain illnesses, such as a heart attack, cancer, or stroke. If you experience a covered illness, you receive a lump-sum benefit payment to help cover out-of-pocket expenses for your treatment that are not covered by your medical plan. You also can use the money to take care of other expenses, such as housekeeping services, special transportation, and child care.

Choose from three coverage options:

• $10,000
• $20,000
• $30,000

You have the option to enroll in the following guaranteed issue coverage amounts without completing a health check:

• Employee: Up to $30,000.
• Spouse: Up to $15,000 (not to exceed 50% of your benefit amount).
