Accident Insurance

Accidents can happen to anyone, at any time. Unum Accident Insurance can help you pay for expenses not covered by your medical insurance. It’s a convenient benefit that can give you and your family a little extra peace of mind, so make sure to enroll when it’s offered at work.

You can’t always avoid accidents— but you can be prepared

Even with good insurance, injuries can set your finances back in a big way. And when you’re hurt, the last thing you want to worry about is out-of-pocket expenses you’re not prepared to pay.

Accident Insurance can help, by paying benefits directly to you if you get treatment for a covered accident. That way, your injury doesn’t have to derail your financial security.

How Accident Insurance works

If you or covered family members are injured in a covered accident, Accident Insurance provides you a lump-sum amount to help take care of unexpected costs and protect your finances. Here’s how it works:

A set amount is payable directly to you, based on the type of injury you or a covered family member has, the treatment needed and the coverage you elected.
You can use the payment as you see fit — to help pay for doctor visits, ambulance fees, hospital bills and other out-of-pocket expenses your health insurance doesn’t cover.
To help promote a healthy lifestyle, plans may also pay a benefit when you get a covered health screening test.

You can file claims online and easily track the status of your claim.

Commonly asked questions about Unum Accident Insurance

Accident Insurance can pay a benefit directly to you if you are injured and need treatment, whether you go to a physician’s office, urgent care center or the emergency room.

The amount of benefits you receive is based on the plan offered to you by your employer and depends on the type of injury and the required treatment as determined by your physician. There is no lifetime or annual maximum payout.

The payments are made directly to you and the money can be used to cover co-pays, deductibles or personal bills and expenses that your medical plan doesn’t cover.
