Fixed-Benefit Indemnity Insurance Helps Reduce Unexpected Dips in Output and Income
AWA offers members fixed-benefit indemnity benefits to support their continued good health. This type of insurance provides reimbursement for regular doctor visits, diagnostic testing, and hospitalization.
By ensuring you remain in the best health possible, you can reduce missed work – which helps stabilize your income. Good health is important for your own personal benefit and for the benefit of your small business. Fixed-benefit indemnity insurance for small business owners can help you stay in good health and heal more quickly when you do experience an accident or illness.
How Fixed-Indemnity Insurance Benefits Work
No matter the total costs, fixed-indemnity, limited-benefit medical insurance policies pay a specific amount per period or per incident. This benefit’s major objective is to help members manage preventative care and ongoing medical expenses.
Fixed-indemnity medical plans offer customers a wider selection of doctors to choose from while managing their health care, similar to PPO medical plans. Members pay predetermined cash amounts for approved medical treatments, so there are no deductibles or copays to worry about.
When you sign up for a plan, you will know what is covered and how much you can be reimbursed for each specific covered benefit. In the event you do need to go to the doctor, you will not have to make a tough choice between affording the healthcare you need and what you can afford.
AWA HealthGuard is Another Type of Fixed-Indemnity Insurance
AWA HealthGuard membership offers significant discounts and exclusive deals on various goods and services for consumers, businesses, and the healthcare industry. It also includes Accident and Sickness Limited Benefit insurance to help with out-of-pocket medical expenses.
As is true of the other programs we offer, you have options. For example, under the AWA HealthGuard benefit, you could choose a plan that reimburses you for anywhere from $250 to $1,000 per night of hospitalization.
Protect Your Small Business from Suffering in the Event You Suffer an Accident by Investing in Accident Insurance
Benefits from accident insurance for small business owners help you prepare for the unexpected and offer families and individuals a cost-effective way to protect themselves against unforeseen expenses resulting from an accident.
Benefits from accident insurance can ease the burden by giving access to perks and resources that can help with unforeseen costs. Some of the main advantages include the following:
- Reduce the amount you pay out of pocket for medical expenses directly resulting from an insured accident.
- Pay for medical expenses associated with a covered accident with monetary compensation.
- While coping with a covered catastrophic illness, safeguard your finances (on specific memberships only).
AWA offers a combination of top features at reasonable rates.
Additional Accident Insurance is Available Through AWA SecureElite
Access to extra Critical Illness and/or Group Accident Only Insurance is available to AWA SecureElite program participants. Having additional insurance may be advantageous in the event of an unanticipated accident or serious sickness.
Members may use the cash benefits for whichever purpose they see fit, including paying for out-of-pocket medical expenses, transportation expenses, childcare, food, and other home care requirements.
Insured Dental Insurance for Small Business Owners
Fully insured dental insurance will pay for all dental examinations, cleanings, and procedures, including orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, crowns, bridges, and dentures for dependent children.
Dental indemnity insurance plans also cover routine checkups, cleanings, x-rays, and procedures like extractions and fillings.
The benefits are underwritten by United Concordia or Nationwide Guardian Life Insurance Company, both A-rated insurers with an extensive network of service providers.
We Offer Two Main Types of Dental Insurance for AWA Members
Two primary options are available to you when selecting dental coverage from AWA.
With a three-year graduated benefits scale, AWA Dental Plus is a fully insured dental plan covering operations and treatments. The orthodontic benefit is also included with AWA Dental Plus for dependent children under the age of 19. AWA Dental Plus is valuable to members since it saves them money on prescription costs.
AWA also offers Dental 1000 and 1500, which include fixed indemnity dental benefits that pay for services/procedures based on a schedule of benefits called Table of Dental Procedures. Members will know exactly what the plan will pay, procedure by procedure, before they go to the dentist.
You Deserve Affordable Prescription Services – and We Can Help
You have access to insured prescription benefits if you are an AWA member. Most commonly prescribed preferred brand and generic medications are covered with low member copays.
Additionally, you are entitled to a discount on non-preferred brand-name medications and non-copay generics, thanks to your membership. Members receive discounts ranging from 10% to 70% off the drugstore’s suggested retail price.
This membership can help small business owners identify cost-effective healthcare choices, given the rising costs of prescription insurance.
The AWA SureScript Rx membership offers approved prescription coverage and health savings to help members manage their medical expenses. All major chains and the majority of independent pharmacies around the country accept SureScript Rx, which offers benefits for a 30-day retail supply or a 90-day mail-order supply for preferred brand names or generics.
Small Business Owners Choose Term Life Insurance to Provide Peace of Mind That Their Families Will Be Taken Care of if the Worst Occurs
As a small business owner, it is important to have a plan in place in case the worst happens. You do not want to leave your family behind to struggle without you. Term life insurance for small business owners is the answer you’re looking for.
The primary member’s term life insurance payouts are assured, and no medical information is required. You can select from five different levels of coverage: $5,000, $10,000, $12,500, or $15,000.
Some AWA life insurance policies feature an accelerated death benefit of 50% up to $7,500 with a 12-month life expectancy.
