A broad range of products that can complement major medical coverage and help address specific expenses or risks.
Ancillary and supplemental coverage is not one product. It is a family of options designed for different needs—from routine dental and vision care to accident, critical illness, income protection, long-term care, and fixed-benefit coverage.
These supplemental options can address different gaps left by major medical coverage. The right fit depends on your current plan, budget, and priorities.
Even strong major medical coverage can leave meaningful deductibles, coinsurance, and other cost-sharing. A compatible gap plan may help with selected expenses so one covered medical event has less impact on your household budget.
