Accident Insurance
Accident insurance from The Hartford helps you pay for unexpected costs that can add up due to common injuries such as fractures, dislocations, burns, emergency room or urgent care visits, and physical therapy. If you or a covered family member has an accident, this plan pays a lump-sum, tax-free benefit. The amount of money depends on the type and severity of your injury and can be used any way you choose. Aetna HDHP plan participants are automatically enrolled in Accident insurance, fully paid for by the company.
