Voluntary Supplemental Health Benefits


The HSHS medical plan provides great coverage for you and your family's general health care needs. Additionally, supplemental health benefits can protect your family's finances in case of an unforeseen injury or illness. You do NOT need to be enrolled in one of the HSHS medical plans to enroll.

 

Accident Insurance




Accident Insurance provides a set benefit amount based on the type of injury you have and the type of treatment you
need. It covers accidents that occur on and off the job. And it includes a range of incidents, from common injuries to more
serious events.
 

Why is this coverage so valuable?
It can help you with out-of-pocket costs that your medical plan doesn’t cover, like co-pays and deductibles. You’ll have base coverage without medical underwriting. The cost is conveniently deducted from your paycheck. You can keep your coverage if you change jobs or retire. You’ll be billed directly.

Who can get coverage?
You:  If you’re actively at work*
Your spouse:  Can get coverage as long as you have purchased coverage for yourself.
Your children: Dependent children from birth until their 26th birthday, regardless of marital or student status.

Critical
Illness Insurance


If you’re diagnosed with an illness that is covered by this insurance, you can receive a lump sum benefit payment.
You can use the money however you want.

Why is this coverage so valuable?
 

  • The money can help you pay out-of-pocket medical expenses, like deductibles.
  • You can use this coverage more than once. Even after you receive a payout for one illness, you’re still covered for the remaining conditions and for the reoccurrence of any critical illness with the exception of skin cancer. The reoccurrence benefit can pay 100% of your coverage amount. Diagnoses must be at least 90 days apart or the conditions can’t be related to each other.
