“It was an accident!” Those words, often spoken mournfully, demonstrate that as common as accidents are, we are often unhappily surprised by them. And indeed, accidents are very common. In the United States, every 7 seconds a disabling injury is caused by a motor vehicle crash,* and 1 in 5 Americans visit the emergency room at least once a year.**

When you or a family member is injured, you know that your medical insurance will take care of a good portion of your medical bills, but there are additional expenses (medical and non-medical in nature) that can accumulate quickly. How can you financially prepare for this unhappy situation?

Helping You Manage Unexpected Expenses

TMA Member Accident Insurance issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America can be a great way to help alleviate any sudden financial burden that an unforeseen injury brings. This plan pays a benefit when you suffer a covered injury due to an accident - whether it is on the playing field, at home, even in the car. The plan includes the following features:

• Coverage for a variety of accidents and injuries: bone fractures, joint dislocations, inpatient or outpatient hospital visits, dental or eye injuries, burns, and much more.
• Benefits paid without needing to provide proof of expenses.
• Benefits paid to you; use them for whatever you need.
• Lump sum payment upon diagnosis of the injury.

The Advantages of Accident Insurance Benefits

Unlike some other plans, your benefit payment is made based on the diagnosis. There is no need to undergo treatment or provide proof of any expenses incurred prior to receiving payment, so you will receive payments as soon as possible. Benefits are paid directly to you, not your medical provider, and you can use your lump sum benefit in any way you would like. Whether you use it for prescriptions, deductibles, copays not covered by health insurance, for day-to-day living expenses, or necessary caregiving; the choice is yours.

If you are a TMA member under age 65, you are eligible to enroll for this insurance protection. You can also enroll a dependent spouse or domestic partner under age 65, and dependent children under age 26.
