What Does Supplemental Accident Insurance Cover?
These policies typically pay a fixed amount when you experience a covered injury from an accident.
The following lists include common coverages of injuries and related services, and exclusions; however, you must read any policy you’re considering carefully since this is not an exhaustive list.
What Accident Policies May Cover
- Sprains, dislocations and fractures
- Concussions
- Lacerations, burns
- Eye injuries
- Torn knee cartilage
- Ruptured discs
- Hospitalization, confinement and inpatient rehab
- Ambulance, urgent care + ER services
What Accident Policies May Not Cover
- Self-inflicted injury or sickness
- Injuries related to pre-existing conditions
- Procedures that are not medically necessary
- Experimental or investigational procedures
- Procedures not prescribed by a doctor
- Injuries resulting from war or active duty military service
- Injuries sustained at work, while under the influence of drugs or alcohol or while participating in a high-risk activity like bungee jumping
Pros and Cons of Accidental Injury Coverage
- You’re in control – You choose how to use your cash benefits to spend any way you need while you recover.
- Keep your doctor – You may be better able to afford a provider or facility outside your plan’s network and have less limitations on your options.
- Enroll year-round – There is no official open enrollment period.
- A plan for every budget – Different levels of coverage may be offered at different price points to meet individual needs.
- Affordable monthly premiums – Because policies are so limited in what they cover, it’s relatively affordable to maintain this supplemental coverage.
- No waiting period – Many policies have no waiting period restrictions, but check policy for waiting periods and limitations.
- Limited coverage + many exclusions – These plans are only meant to cover healthcare services related to qualifying accidental injuries. See exclusions and limitations for a list of non-qualifying events.
- Premiums are based on age and health – The younger and healthier you are, the lower your monthly premium.
- Not ACA-compliant major medical insurance coverage – Accidental injury coverage is a form of supplemental insurance. Supplemental insurance coverage is not required to comply with minimum essential coverage for health insurance, principally under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). A qualifying major medical health insurance plan can provide the 10 minimum essential benefits under the ACA.
Combine With Other Insurance Plans for More Coverage
