Accident Insurance

Fixed cash benefits for injuries, paid on a published schedule.

What this cover does

Accident cover pays set amounts for specific injuries and treatments — a fracture, a burn, an ambulance ride, a night in hospital — straight to you. It is a supplement, built to absorb the deductible and the gaps a high-deductible health plan leaves behind.

Typically included

  • Scheduled benefits for fractures, dislocations, burns and lacerations
  • Emergency room, ambulance and urgent care benefits
  • Hospital admission and daily confinement benefits
  • Follow-up treatment and physical therapy
  • Accidental death and dismemberment benefits

Common add-ons

  • Family cover including sports injuries
  • Wellness benefits for annual screening
  • Higher benefit tiers
  • Portable cover that continues if you change jobs

Questions

What people ask about accident

Does it replace health insurance?

No, and it should never be bought as a substitute. It pays fixed amounts alongside a health plan; it does not pay the medical bill itself.

Are sports injuries covered?

Organised amateur and school sport is generally covered. Professional competition and some high-risk pursuits are commonly excluded, so tell us what you actually do.
