Supplemental Medical
Supplemental Medical Plans pay a fixed, one-time benefit amount which you can use for any purpose you like. It can help pay for expenses not covered by your healthcare plan (such as your deductible or copays), lost income, childcare, travel to and from treatment, home healthcare costs, or any of your regular household expenses.
What’s great about these plans are that they complement your existing healthcare coverage, filling in the gaps and offering financial support where it’s needed most. The best part? It’s entirely up to you. These plans are 100% voluntary, allowing you to choose the coverage that fits your lifestyle and priorities. It’s insurance that puts you in control, providing peace of mind when life takes unexpected turns.
