What Supplemental Coverage Includes
Supplemental policies pay benefits in addition to your primary health insurance. The most common products we use:
- Accident — lump sums and per-event benefits for ER visits, fractures, dislocations, lacerations.
- Critical illness — lump-sum cash on diagnosis of heart attack, stroke, cancer, organ failure.
- Cancer — pays on diagnosis and through treatment.
- Hospital indemnity — fixed dollar amounts per day for hospital admission and ICU stays.
- Short-term disability — replaces income when you can't work.
How Supplemental Works With Your Major Medical Plan
Supplemental never replaces major medical — it works alongside it. If you carry a private PPO or an ACA Marketplace plan with a $7,500 deductible, an accident plan can cut the out-of-pocket damage of a single ER trip from thousands of dollars down to a few hundred.
We always start with your major medical plan, identify the real exposure, and only add supplemental products that close a meaningful gap.
Honest, Right-Sized Recommendations
Most supplemental policies are oversold. We won't stack five products on you when two will do. Phil will quote a couple of options, explain what each one actually pays, and let you decide.
