Accident Companion

Help with out-of-pocket costs for accidental injuries

Features

As premium costs for health insurance continue to rise, many Americans are purchasing plans with a higher deductible and coinsurance in order to stay within their budget. While raising the deductible on your health plan can be an excellent way to manage the cost of insurance, when accidents happen, a higher deductible may create an immediate financial challenge.

Our Accident Companion supplemental insurance plan is designed to be paired with your health insurance plan to provide assistance with the payment of the deductible and coinsurance.

The Accident Companion plan is simple. It offers four budget-friendly benefit level options that align with most health plan deductible amounts. The plan pays a lump-sum cash benefit directly to you to help you pay deductible and coinsurance expenses resulting from a covered accident or you may use it for other expenses. It’s your money; how you spend it is your decision.

Cash Benefits Can Be Used For

  • Copays or Coinsurances
  • Rent or Mortgage
  • Car Payments
  • Child Care
  • Everyday Living Expenses

How is supplemental insurance different than medical insurance?

When you are injured or sick, your medical insurance pays your doctors and hospitals; supplemental insurance is designed to pay you. The cash benefit you receive from your supplemental insurance plan can be used for anything you choose, including expenses health insurance won’t pay for, such as deductibles, offsetting a loss of income during your hospital stay, family travel expenses, or to help with everyday living expenses.

Why do I need supplemental insurance from SureBridge if I already have medical insurance?
