Accident insurance

Accident insurance helps protect from unexpected financial stress that comes with accidental injuries. The benefit amounts depend on the type of injuries you have and the medical services you need, but covered events include:

  • Emergency room visits
  • Surgery and anesthesia
  • Prescriptions
  • Major Diagnostic Testing
  • Burns
  • And many more

This coverage also pays you a $50 wellness benefit each year for certain preventive screenings and tests.

Critical illness insurance

Critical illness insurance can protect against the financial impact of certain illnesses, such as a cancer, heart attack (myocardial infarction), stroke, end stage kidney disease, major organ failure, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, non-invasive cancer, Alzheimer’s, and skin cancer.

This coverage also pays you and your covered spouse/domestic partner a $50 wellness benefit each year for certain preventive screenings and tests.

Hospital indemnity insurance

Even with medical plan coverage, a hospital stay can still be costly. Hospital indemnity insurance can help offset your share of the cost associated with hospitalization due to accidents and sicknesses, including specific amounts for:

  • Admission to a hospital
  • Intensive Care Unit stays
  • Hospital stays
  • Inpatient Rehab Unit stays (accidents only)

Keep in Mind

On their own, these plans don’t provide comprehensive medical coverage for your day-to-day health care needs. They’re intended to supplement the coverage provided by your AMCN medical plan.
