Aflac launches new accident policy

Aflac announced the launch of its latest individual Aflac Accident Insurance product, which provides policyholders with cash benefits after a covered accident, including health services such as ambulance, ER, urgent care, physical therapy, mental health therapy and more.

The product is available in 32 states and provides a variety of coverage types that appeal to consumers in all life stages. A primary feature of the new product is how it nearly doubles coverage for follow-up care treatments, including broadening treatment care to include mental health benefits when an accident occurs. The enhancements also provide increased preventive care.

“Accidents happen, and when they do, Aflac can assist in easing the financial pain by helping to mitigate the costs associated with unanticipated medical bills and more. We want policyholders to make a full recovery, which means providing innovative benefits to help them deal with the physical, mental and emotional challenges they may face following an accident. Consumers are seeking a more holistic, simpler approach to their health care and health insurance, which is why we believe that the Aflac Accident Insurance plan will generate a great deal of interest with our current and future policyholders.” – Aflac Senior Vice President, Chief Actuary Tom Morey.
