How Accident Insurance Can Supplement Other Insurance Plans

[vc_row el_class=”scr-blog-featured-float”][vc_column width=”1/3″ el_class=”scr-full”][vc_column_text el_class=”h3-post-title”]

You have Medical insurance – and maybe even Disability insurance. Do you really need Accident insurance too?

We’re all at risk for accidents. You could be involved in an auto accident, or simply fall and break your leg. Regardless of the cause, injuries cost money and hospital bills can add up quickly.

Accident insurance can supplement your Health insurance. It pays a lump sum if you are injured in an accident—even if you can still work.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ el_class=”scr-float”][vc_raw_html]JTVCRmVhdHVyZWRQcm9kdWN0Q2FsbG91dCUyMGlkJTNEJTI3MTUxNjclMjclNUQ=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ el_class=”scr-auto”][vc_column_text el_class=”h3-post-title”]Accident insurance issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America, pays benefits for the following types of accidental injuries, including: fractures, dislocations, burns, eye injuries, and dental injuries. Benefits are also paid for services like ambulance transportation, emergency room and urgent care visits, medical testing, surgery, hospital stays, therapy services, and physician follow-up visits.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”h3-post-title”]

More severe injuries trigger higher benefit amounts:
For a serious condition that results in paralysis, your benefit could be as high as $10,000.
A broken bone may trigger a benefit of less than $1,000.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”h3-post-title”]Accident insurance can complement both your Health and Disability insurance—you can simultaneously receive benefits from all sources, and one won’t affect the other.

Health insurance: Accident insurance can supplement your Health insurance if your injury requires medical treatment that your health plan doesn’t cover. Benefits can be used to help cover deductibles,  co-pays, and other accident-related costs. This is particularly useful if you have a high deductible insurance plan.

For example, your health insurance may cover a portion of hospital fees associated with surgery for an eye injury. Accident insurance pays you additional benefits—both for the injury itself and for the surgery—that you can use to help with any residual costs.1

Disability insurance: Accident insurance offers relatively low benefit amounts compared to Disability insurance, but it can complement Disability coverage by providing benefits even if your injuries don’t keep you out of work. While Disability insurance pays benefits each month you remain disabled, there is a waiting period before those benefits begin. Accident insurance can help bridge that gap, which could be particularly helpful if you don’t have much in the way of emergency savings.

Accident insurance is an affordable way to help supplement your Health and Disability insurance . Plans start at just $10 per month for individuals and less than $25 for families. Learn more about Accident insurance. Enrollment is easy—there are no medical questions or exams.
