Three types of supplemental health plans are available: Accident Insurance, Hospital Indemnity Insurance, and Specified Disease Insurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cGiven rising health care costs, changes in health care benefits, as well as deductible plans, PEF MBP and its trustees felt that supplemental health insurance plans would afford PEF members a way to help protect their finances that could be impacted by unexpected costs associated with injuries from accidents, expensive hospital stays, and treatment for critical illnesses,\u201d said Buffy Horan, Insurance Executive for PEF MBP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Supplemental health policies are different from traditional health plans because they can help cover costs that your health plan may not include. These plans cover gaps and complement regular health insurance plans. The cash benefit you receive from supplemental health plans can mitigate, and in some cases eliminate, costs associated with co-pays, deductibles, and other expenses depending on how you choose to use the cash benefit you receive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">What are the benefits of buying supplemental insurance?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For many, supplemental health coverage can be a cost-effective way to help with out-of-pocket costs.
