Top 3 Reasons
You Need Accident
Medical Coverage

Protect Your Savings - Accident Medical Coverage pays medical expenses from an accident not paid by your health insurance because you have not met your Annual Deductible or Coinsurance requirements, or are away from home (out-of-network).

Better Coverage - Accident Medical Coverage covers Dental, Physical Therapy, and hundreds of other items from an accident not covered by your health insurance--up to $10,000 per accident per person.

Save $1,000-$2,500 per Year - Accident Medical Coverage allows you to increase the Annual Deductible on your Individual or Employer health policy, saving you thousands each year on your premium or employee contribution.

What do Out-of-Pocket Maximum and Annual Deductible Really Mean?

The annual deductible used to be the amount you pay until your insurance kicks in. Today, almost all policies require you pay an additional 10%-20% of your medical expenses, above the deductible, up to $10,000--this is called coinsurance. The real number you should use to compare policies is out-of-pocket maximum--your annual deductible plus the maximum amount of coinsurance you could pay up to the maximum benefit of your policy.

How Can Accident Medical Coverage
Save Me Money Without an Accident?

In addition to paying your Annual Deductible, Coinsurance, and hundreds of medical items not covered by your health insurance, up to $10,000 per person per accident, you can use Accident Medical Coverage to save $2,500 or more today on your health insurance premium.

The higher the Annual Deductible on your Individual, Family, or Employer-Sponsored health insurance policy, the lower your Monthly Premium or Employee Contribution.

However, you may not be comfortable accepting the higher risk of having a $2,500 Annual Deductible per person on each family member. Or, you may want better coverage if you or a family member has an accident.

You can obtain $2,500-Benefit Accident Medical Coverage for your family--this pays you up to $2,500 per accident in medical expenses for each member of your family (no limit on number of accidents).

This saves you $212/month, $2,544 a year, and provides you better coverage ($100 deductible) in the event of an accident or injury.

If you are healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle, you may have a greater healthcare risk from having an accident than from getting a disease.

 


 

Accident Medical Coverage provides benefits for medical expenses that result from an accident or injury—it does not provide benefits for medical expenses due to an illness.

Information on this page does not refer to a specific product, policy, or membership—all examples are only for purposes of education. Accident Medical Coverage described on this page can be obtained several ways including: (1) Contacting Zane Benefits to obtain a health insurance policy or plan offering protection against accidents; (2) Contacting Zane Benefits to purchase a standalone Accident Medical Coverage policy; (3) Lowering the Annual Deductible and/or coinsurance requirement of an existing employer-sponsored or other health policy; or (4) Joining an association that provides multiple benefits of membership, one of which is accident medical coverage—similar to the way some people join AAA for a package of benefits (maps, discounts) along with roadside assistance coverage at a better price than roadside assistance coverage might cost alone.
