Employee Benefits

Supplemental Insurance — benefits that pay employees directly when standard health falls short.

Even the best group health plan leaves employees with out-of-pocket costs — deductibles, copays, lost income during recovery, and expenses insurance simply doesn't cover. Supplemental benefits like critical illness, accident, and hospital indemnity pay cash directly to employees to fill those gaps. Typically offered as voluntary benefits at little or no cost to the employer.

Why Supplemental Benefits

Standard Health Insurance Has Real Limits. Supplemental Benefits Fill the Gap.

Even with a strong group health plan, employees face significant out-of-pocket exposure when something serious happens. A cancer diagnosis or a major accident can generate $10,000–$30,000 in costs a health plan doesn't cover — deductibles, out-of-network bills, lost income, and expenses outside the plan's scope. Supplemental benefits are designed specifically for these moments.

Cash Paid Directly to the Employee
Supplemental benefits pay the employee directly — not the provider. Employees use the cash for whatever they need: mortgage payments, travel to specialists, childcare during recovery, or any other expense their health plan doesn't cover.
Voluntary = Low Cost to Employer
Most supplemental benefits are offered as voluntary — employees pay the premium through payroll deduction. The employer adds a high-value benefit to the package at little or no direct cost, while employees get group rates they can't access on their own.
Pairs with Any Health Plan
Supplemental benefits work alongside any group health plan — HMO, PPO, or HDHP. They're especially valuable when paired with high-deductible plans, where employees face the most out-of-pocket exposure before coverage kicks in.
