THINKING ABOUT ACCIDENT INSURANCE? Consider the following: • Medical Costs – Take a look at your medical costs from the past year and decide whether you’re able to pay them out of your own pocket if you experience a covered accident. • Other expenses – Add up routine expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation to see how much money is left to pay medical bills. • Savings – Estimate your total savings and investments and decide whether you could dip into them to cover costs due to an accident.
• Accidental death and dismemberment This plan also includes an annual $50 health assessment benefit that provides you with cash toward one of 24 covered health assessment tests such as mammogram, colonoscopy or EKG. The accident insurance benefit is portable should you leave the College or transfer to a part-time position.
