Voluntary Accident, Critical Illness and Hospital Indemnity Insurance

Voluntary Accident

Nemours offers Aetna Accident Insurance through convenient post-tax payroll deductions for associates, spouses and dependents. Accident insurance provides you and your eligible family members with payment for a covered accident. It also pays if you undergo testing, receive medical services, treatment or care for any one of more than 150 covered events as defined in your group certificate. This includes hospitalization resulting from an accident and accidental death or dismemberment.

There are two options – high and low – that vary in the amount of payment for each covered accident. Payments are made directly to you to use as you see fit. They can be used to help pay for medical plan deductibles and co-pays, out-of-network treatments, your family’s everyday living expenses, or whatever else you need while recuperating from an accident.

Your accident coverage is guaranteed, regardless of your health. You just need to be actively at work for your coverage to be effective. There are no medical exams to take and no health questions to answer.

Voluntary Critical Illness

Nemours offers Aetna Critical Illness Insurance through convenient post-tax payroll deductions for associates, spouses and dependents. Critical illness coverage provides you with a lump-sum payment if you or your covered family members are diagnosed with a serious medical condition. Critical illness insurance covers more than 20 illnesses or conditions including cancer, heart attack, stroke, coronary artery bypass, kidney failure, major organ transplant and Alzheimer’s disease.

This insurance pays cash benefits directly to associates and their family members diagnosed with any of the covered conditions and in addition to any benefits paid through the health plan. It is designed to help offset the deductibles, co-pays and indirect costs associated with a serious illness.

You have a choice of three benefit levels – a payment of $10,000, $15,000 or $30,000 upon initial diagnosis. Your spouse is covered for 100% of the associate amount and children are covered for 50% of the associate amount. Included in the coverage is an annual $50 health screening benefit for each covered family member.

Coverage is guaranteed (no health questions asked) and there is no pre-existing condition limitation; however, you must be actively at work for your coverage to be effective. Premiums are based on the associate’s age and tobacco use.

Voluntary Hospital Indemnity

Nemours offers Aetna Hospital Indemnity Insurance through convenient post-tax payroll deductions for associates, spouses and dependents. Hospital indemnity insurance provides you and your eligible family members with payments when you are admitted or confined to a hospital due to an accident or illness. Typically, a flat amount is paid for admission and a daily amount is paid for each day of a hospital stay. It also pays extra benefits for admission to or confinement in an intensive care unit (ICU), and for other benefits and services. This coverage also includes a lump-sum benefit after the birth of your newborn. This will not pay for an outpatient birth.

There are two options – high and low. Payments are made directly to you to use as you see fit and independent of any benefits paid through the health plan. They can be used to help pay for medical plan deductibles and co-pays, for out-of-network stays, for your family’s everyday living expenses, or for whatever else you need while recuperating from an illness or accident.

Your hospital indemnity coverage is guaranteed. You just need to be actively at work for your coverage to be effective. There are no medical exams to take and no health questions to answer.
