Accident insurance

Accidents don’t need to be big to be expensive. Even common injuries like a broken arm can have a significant impact on employee finances.

That’s why accident insurance can be an important part of any voluntary benefits plan.

Two types of coverage

Calendar Icon

Scheduled benefit accident

This coverage pays benefits based on a “schedule” of covered accidents. Fixed benefit amounts are paid for covered injuries and related medical services.

This coverage is a great fit for employers who prioritize catastrophic injury protection.

Per-occurrence accident

This coverage pays 100% of eligible services and supplies after a covered accident, up to a plan maximum. Plans can be customized between $300 and $10,000 per accident, and cover one or three accidents per insured, per year.

If you prioritize accidents that tend to be more common, per-occurrence accident insurance is the way to go.
