Accident insurance, sometimes referred to as participant accident insurance, is coverage that helps pay medical treatment expenses when someone is injured in an accident. It is usually used to pay for the deductibles, copayments, and other out-of-pocket expenses primary health insurance does not cover. Or, in instances where someone does not have primary health insurance, its benefits can be used toward medical bills.
With rising healthcare and health insurance costs, accident insurance is an affordable way to help protect a family’s budget from financial risk if a child is accidentally injured.
