There are a variety of supplemental insurance plans that come with affordable premiums. The price you’ll pay for a plan can depend on the plan type, where you live, your age, your health condition, and a few other factors. If you’re looking for a supplemental insurance plan, Aflac offers a variety of options that come with great coverage at reasonable rates. Let’s dive deeper into how supplemental health insurance works, how much it costs, and some plans you can choose from.
Also known as secondary insurance, supplemental insurance helps pay for out-of-pocket expenses your primary health insurance doesn’t cover. You may purchase supplemental plans to help protect yourself and your family in different situations, like transportation to or from a hospital, a critical illness diagnosis, or to help cover deductibles and copays.1 With supplemental insurance, you and your loved ones can focus on recovery rather than worry about finances.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Help cover yourself and your family with affordable coverage from Aflac.
Here’s an overview of the supplemental insurance policies Aflac offers:
An accident can lead to high expenses. Accident insurance may come in handy if you experience an injury and need some help financially.
In the event a cancer diagnosis strikes, your focus should be on recovery, not the cost of treatment. Cancer insurance can make this possible. It’s designed to cover a variety of medical and non-medical cancer expenses.
With dental insurance, you’ll find it easier and more affordable to maintain excellent oral health. It can help pay for preventive services, basic services, and major services.
Vision insurance is ideal if you’d like to keep your eyes in optimal shape. It may help cover annual eye exams, as well as certain treatments and surgeries for eye diseases and disorders.
A critical illness, can result in hefty medical bills and make it difficult to cover everyday expenses. Critical illness insurance may come to the rescue and help alleviate the financial stress a critical illness can cause.
Short-term disability insurance offers benefit payments that equal a percentage of your salary if you can’t work due to a non-job-related accident, illness, or condition.
Unplanned hospital visits don’t come cheap. With hospital insurance, you can receive the money you need to help pay for hospital bills and ease the financial burden of an illness or injury.
