If you are like most people, you don’t budget for accidents. You hope it never happens, but if it does, wouldn’t it be nice to have an insurance plan that pays benefits regardless of other insurance you may have? Accident Insurance pays you benefits for specific injuries and events resulting from a covered accident — regardless of other medical or disability benefits you receive. Benefit amounts depend on the type of injury and treatment, and may be paid out multiple times per person, per year (there’s no benefit cap).

Accident Insurance is designed to supplement your primary health insurance—not replace it. The Accident Insurance benefit includes an Annual Wellness Benefit of $150 per calendar year, payable to you and your covered spouse upon completion of a qualified health screening test. The benefit also includes a $75 per calendar year benefit for each covered eligible child who completes a qualified health screening, up to $300 maximum per calendar year (4 children at $75 each).

This coverage provides additional financial protection if you or a covered family member is diagnosed with a serious illness, such as heart attack, stroke, organ failure or cancer. You have the option to purchase a plan that pays a lump-sum benefit of $5,000; this benefit would be paid if you or a covered family member is diagnosed with a covered illness or disease.

If you enroll in the Consumer Choice 4000 medical plan, you will automatically be enrolled in Basic Critical Illness Insurance at no additional cost* based on your medical coverage level. You have the option to elect an additional $5,000 in coverage. This benefit is not a replacement for your medical plan insurance (whether through Plexus or another employer). Critical Illness Insurance is considered a “limited benefit policy”, meaning it is not medical insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage.

* Plexus pays the premium, but we will withhold tax for the premium amount to ensure any benefit received is tax-free. This will appear on your paycheck as Critical Illness Imputed Income.
