Aflac                               

Because of your credit union membership, you can now obtain individually-owned health insurance policies. Aflac plans are a perfect complement to your major medical coverage since claim checks may be used to help cover escalating deductibles and co-payments, out-of-pocket costs, everyday living expenses - even lost income.

Best of all, with Aflac, you gain full control over the policies' cash benefits - receive the money directly or assign it to others. Unlike other health insurance plans, there are no pre-certification concerns, no network limitations and no coordination of benefits. (All policies pay in full regardless of any other insurance you may have and often within 4 business days.)

Empowering you in times of financial need with superior plans and services. just one of the many reasons why Aflac has been named to Fortune magazine's list of America's Most Admired Companies (March 16, 2009).

  OUT-OF-POCKET MEDICAL EXPENSES
While health insurance pays most of the doctor and hospital bills, there are usually hundreds of dollars of deductibles and co-payments (including those for prescription drugs) left over. Plus, if you're in a managed-care plan and go outside the approved network, there could be additional charges.
 
 LOSS OF INCOME
Meeting everyday financial obligations while incurring treatment-related bills is difficult - particularly if you are not able to earn a paycheck. In dual-income households, the financial consequences can be doubly stressful if the healthy spouse is forced to leave work to care for the recuperating partner.
 OTHER INCIDENT-RELATED COSTS
Getting sick or injured has financial consequences beyond the medical bills, including such out-of-pocket costs as:
  • Travel expenses to and from special treatment centers
  • Food and lodging while you're away from home
  • Long-distance phone calls
  • Child care
  • Extra household help
  • Home care
Plus, everyday living expenses still have to be met, like:
  • Mortgage or rent payments
  • Car notes
  • Groceries and utility bills
