Medical Insurance May Not Cover All Your Costs After An Accident

Written by TMA Insurance Trust Team | Jun 10, 2023 12:00:00 PM

As the cost of health insurance deductibles and copays continue to climb, families are absorbing more and more out-of-pocket costs. When a family member gets injured due to an accident, most medical health insurance plans only pay a portion of the bill, leaving you with the remaining balance. You can help protect your family and your finances with a TMA Member Accident Insurance plan.

TMA Member Accident Insurance is an excellent supplement to your family’s health insurance coverage to help pay for those out-of-pocket expenses related to unforeseen accidents.

Nicer Weather Brings Opportunities for Accidents

When the weather is nice, we all tend to enjoy more outdoor physical activities. Summer camps and little leagues are filled with eager children and parents ready to take advantage of long sun-drenched days and campfire nights. At the same time, every year hospital emergency rooms see a steady stream of children being treated for sports and adventure related injuries. If you, your children, or your spouse have an accident on the field, on the mountain, in the yard, or house, TMA Member Accident Insurance issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America can help. Acceptance is guaranteed for eligible TMA members, so enrolling is fast and easy.

As soon as you sign up, your coverage begins and you can immediately take advantage of the following benefits if needed:

  • Benefit payments are made based on diagnosis so there is no need to undergo treatment or provide proof of any expenses incurred prior to receiving payment.
  • Unlike medical health insurance, cash benefits from the TMA Member Accident Insurance plan are paid directly to you, not to the doctor or hospital.
  • Use the lump sum benefit to cover whatever you want: prescriptions, out-of-pocket deductibles or co-pay, and even living expenses.
  • Accident Insurance pays benefits for:
    • Fractures
    • Dislocations
    • Hospital visits (inpatient and outpatient)
    • Dental and eye injuries
    • Burns and much more
