Extra Protection for Active Families

Kids play. Kids run. Kids participate in sports. And sometimes accidents happen.

For families with children, accident insurance can help provide an additional layer of financial protection alongside primary health insurance. Depending on the specific policy and covered accident, benefits may be available for eligible services or injuries such as emergency-room care, urgent care, fractures, dislocations, diagnostic testing, ambulance transportation, follow-up treatment, and other covered expenses.

Coverage, benefit amounts, limitations, and exclusions vary by policy.

What Should You Compare in an Accident Insurance Plan?

• Covered injuries and services — review what types of accidents, treatments, and services may qualify for benefits.
• Benefit amounts — understand how much the policy may pay for eligible care such as emergency-room visits, fractures, ambulance transportation, or follow-up treatment.
• Exclusions and limitations — check what situations, activities, injuries, or services may not be covered.
• Waiting or effective dates — confirm when coverage begins and when benefits may become available.
• Coordination with your health insurance — accident insurance is generally supplemental and is not a replacement for major medical coverage.

How Accident Insurance Works

Accident insurance is generally designed to supplement—not replace—major medical health insurance. Depending on the plan, benefits may be paid according to a benefit schedule when a covered accident occurs and qualifying treatment or services are received.
