Benefits Information

Group Accident Insurance

Accident insurance is designed to cover unexpected expenses that result from all kinds of accidents, even sports-related and household ones. It provides cash benefits to cover things your health insurance doesn’t, such as deductibles, copayments, transportation and lodging costs, everyday bills and more.

Group Hospital Indemnity

This plan provides financial assistance when you are confined to a hospital. It allows you to avoid dipping into savings, or having to borrow to cover out-of-pocket expenses that health insurance was never intended to cover, such as transportation, meals for family members, help with child care cost, and time away from work.

Legal Insurance

Affordable and reliable legal counsel for everyday life matters – like a dispute with a contractor, buying or selling a home, or the need for estate planning. The plan provides you with peace of mind knowing that attorney fees for most covered legal matters are 100 percent paid in full when you work with a Network Attorney.

Group Critical Illness Insurance

Critical Illness Insurance is a way for employees to help themselves stay ahead of the medical and out-of-pocket expenses that can accompany certain medical events. For example, many lump-sum critical illness plans pay benefits when an individual experiences a covered event such as a heart attack, stroke, major human organ transplant, coma, paralysis, cancer (Internal or Invasive), and more.

Short-Term Disability Insurance

You count on your paycheck to provide the things you need today and to achieve the dreams you have for tomorrow. But, what would happen if it were suddenly taken away because of an unexpected covered injury or illness? Disability Income insurance replaces part of your paycheck when you are disabled and unable to work. It can help you meet financial obligations when you don’t have a paycheck coming in.
