Accident Insurance

For added protection against unexpected costs, Alera Group offers you the option to purchase Accident Insurance. This insurance provides financial support if you or a covered family member is injured in an accident.

The Basics

How It Works

Accident insurance pays a lump-sum cash benefit when you or your covered family members suffer injuries in an accident. You can enroll as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, and within 30 days after a qualified life event.

What’s Covered

The plan pays a benefit for injuries like:

  • Fractures
  • Burns
  • Dislocations
  • Lacerations

See the Accident Insurance Summary for a list of covered benefits.

What It Pays

The amount you get depends on the type of injury you have and the type of treatment you need.

See the Accident Insurance Summary for details.

Accident Insurance Changes for 2027

Accident Insurance is moving from Unum to UnitedHealthcare (UHC) on January 1, 2027. With this change:

  • Claims integration will be smoother for those who are also enrolled in an Alera Group medical plan through UHC or Blue Cross Blue Shield. Medical claims will be automatically reviewed to see if they qualify for a payment through Accident Insurance.
  • You will have a second Accident Insurance plan to consider. The plan costs more but also pays a higher lump-sum benefit.

See the Open Enrollment flyer and the 2027 Summary of Benefits for more information. See the 2027 Contributions and Costs page for Accident Insurance rates.
