How emergency room insurance supplements work:
Accident coverage for the ER has no health questions when applying online and automatic acceptance is up to age 70. Plans are not insurance, rather an association based indemnity policy. Indemnity insurance plans pay the insured in lump sum payments up to a predetermined policy face value amount. Payments can either be paid to the insured directly, or the hospital and doctor who treated the injury. Policies only cover accidental bodily injuries and not sickness. As you’ll notice in the quotes above, available benefit levels (policy face value) available are $2,500, $5,000, $7,500, and $10,000. Price for family plans include everyone, meaning a 12 person family pays the same monthly dues as a 3 person family.
Emergency room coverage pays for expenses billed by a hospital or doctor used for injury treatment, up to the benefit level selected ($2,500, $5,000, $7,500, $10,000), less a $100 dollar deductible. Deductible is the actual out of pocket expense you’ll have before accident plan pays. Plan will pay up to the max benefit per accident or per injury. Indemnity benefits reset and every accident is treated as a separate event subject to new benefits and another $100 deductible.
