Accident and Critical Illness Insurance

If a sports injury means a trip to urgent care, or a bad fall lands you in the hospital, accident insurance can help pay for those bills and any other expenses as you recover. Benefits are paid regardless of your other insurance coverage.

A range of incidents are covered, including:

• Burns
• Broken bones
• Concussions
• Eye injuries
• Dental emergencies

Benefits are determined by the type of injury and the treatment you receive. Review the schedule of benefits.

Coverage levels and costs 

You can choose from two coverage options that pay different benefits. You can purchase coverage for yourself and your family members

You pay for this plan with after-tax payroll deductions, so any benefits you receive are not taxed when a claim is paid.

Critical illness insurance pays you a lump-sum payment when you are diagnosed with certain conditions, including cancer, stroke, heart attack, loss of sight, hearing or speech, or serious diseases such as Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis. See the covered conditions.

You can receive benefits for an additional illness or recurrence of the same covered illness after a 180-day waiting period.

Be well benefit

Each family member who has critical illness coverage can receive $50 every year for getting a covered screening test, such as an annual physical, a cancer screening or a cholesterol test.

Coverage levels

Choose coverage of $10,000, $20,000 or $30,000 for yourself. Your children up to age 26 are automatically covered at 50% of your coverage level, and you can add your spouse or domestic partner at 50% of your coverage level.

You pay for this plan with after-tax payroll deductions, so any benefits you receive are not taxed when a claim is paid.

Your cost per pay period

Your contributions depend on the coverage amount you choose and the age of you and your spouse or domestic partner, if applicable.
