With the high cost of medical care today, a trip down the stairs can hurt your bank account as much as your body. Accident insurance can pay you money based on the injury and the treatment you receive, whether it’s a simple sprain or something more serious, like an injury from a car accident. Your plan can pay you a benefit for an emergency room treatment, stitches, crutches, injury-related surgery and a list of other accident-related expenses. The money is paid directly to you and you decide how to spend it. You can also purchase coverage for your spouse and dependent children.
Accidental insurance is available to part and full-time staff at the open enrollment period each September, with coverage effective October 1st. Insurance is provided by Allstate which offers different packages of coverage. Reminders are sent out about open enrollment in August.
