We know the financial impact of the new medical, prescription and short-term disability plans will vary greatly depending on each associate’s unique situation and individual needs. To help offset the costs of certain medical expenses and loss of income associated with short-term disability, WSI partners with MetLife to offer a number of supplemental insurance plans with low weekly premiums that can help fill financial gaps where you may need extra coverage. These include:

Supplemental Accident Insurance Benefits

Accident insurance can help you get back on your feet.
An accident can happen to anyone in the family — and with it can come unexpected expenses not covered by medical insurance. You may want to consider accident insurance if:

  • You and your family have an active lifestyle
  • Your children play sports
  • Your medical plan has high deductibles or copays

Accident insurance:

  • Covers your family for a wide variety of accidental injuries, including broken bones, concussions, dislocations, and second-and third-degree burns1.
  • Provides a lump-sum payment when a covered person has medical services and treatments related to accidental injuries, such as certain doctor visits, ambulance transportation, medical testing and physical therapy1.
  • Is a valuable complement to your medical insurance.
  • Can help protect your savings from unexpected expenses, which could be substantial.
  • Provides payment directly to you, which you can use any way you see fit.

It’s easy.

  • There are no waiting periods, and with a hassle-free claims process, you have less to worry about.
  • You may have a choice of plans to fit your budget and specific needs.
  • You can also take the coverage with you if you leave the company or retire.2
