Accident Insurance

Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere. Accident insurance may help protect against the out-of-pocket expenses medical insurance may not pay when you have a covered accident or injury.

With accident insurance, you can get paid directly for expenses incurred as a result of a covered accident. You can use the funds however you need, whether it’s for medical expenses or other costs like rent, utilities or childcare.

What are the benefits of accident insurance?

Accident insurance pays you a cash benefit after you receive treatment for a covered accident or injury, like a broken bone, burn, cut or even dislocation.

APL’s Accident insurance* may also help cover telemedicine, acupuncture, mental health services and organized sports injuries for covered children and adults. So, you’re not left covering all the unexpected expenses after an accident.

Are copies of my medical bills acceptable or do you require the original bills?

We need the actual itemized bill with the diagnosis code from your provider with a breakdown of charges for each date of service. Typically, bills you receive in the mail (balance forward statements) don’t contain enough information to process a claim. However, you should be able to obtain this information by contacting your provider’s office directly.
