Accident Insurance: Financial Protection When Life Takes a Sudden Turn

Accident Insurance provides budget-friendly coverage to help with medical bills, recovery costs, and everyday expenses following an accident.

What is Short-term Medical Insurance

Accident Insurance is supplemental coverage that pays cash benefits directly to you if you’re injured in an accident.

Unlike standard health insurance—which typically pays providers—Accident Insurance gives money straight to you. Use it for medical bills, everyday expenses like groceries or rent, childcare, or lost income while you recover.
