Personal Accident Insurance

Personal Accident Insurance from The Benefits Group

Maintaining financial security is undoubtedly a priority for all employees. By offering personal accident insurance, you provide a cost-effective way for your employees to safeguard their financial health and protect their families. Accidental injuries can quickly turn into a major financial setback, particularly if an employee is missing work. Lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses, and costs for at-home support and medical care all add up.

When used in conjunction with group health and medical plans, personal accident insurance can extend employees’ protection, especially when unexpected costs arise. Some accidents can lead to serious financial blows, with medical fees taking a chunk out of a person’s savings.

Typical Benefits Of Group Accident Insurance

Regardless of any other insurance benefits your employees may or may not choose, opting for personal accident insurance always provides cash benefits. There are stipulations about the types of accidents that are covered (e.g. falling down the stairs and breaking an arm, yes; breaking an arm while bungee jumping, no; losing natural teeth in a car accident, yes; losing a veneer when opening a bottle with your teeth, no).

If you choose to provide personal accident insurance to your employees, their cash benefits will be paid directly to them. Personal accident insurance through LifeSecure works as follows:

• Annual Benefit Bank: This number represents the total dollar amount that is available to an enrolled employee for covered services rendered each calendar year. The bank will restore to its full amount at the beginning of each calendar year
  • Within the Annual Benefit Bank, employees choose, within $100 increments, a minimum of $2,500 in an annual benefit bank amount and a maximum of $15,000 for individuals and $25,000 for couples or families.
• Family Coverage: Family coverage includes spouse, domestic partner, and/or dependents.
  • The family deductible is two times the individual deductible amount and must be satisfied by at least two covered family members.
  • Once the deductible is satisfied, benefits would be payable for all covered family members for the rest of the calendar year, up to the Annual Benefit Bank Amount.
  • Benefits may be paid for an individual family member before the full family deductible is satisfied.
