What We Cover

More Ways to Protect Your Health & Finances

Whether you need temporary medical coverage, affordable dental and vision, or cash-benefit plans that pay you directly after a serious diagnosis — we have options for every situation and budget.

Short Term Medical Insurance

Flexible health coverage for gaps between jobs, waiting periods, or when ACA plans don't fit your budget. Plans typically cover doctor visits, urgent care, ER, hospitalization, and prescriptions for 1–12 months.

Dental Insurance

Standalone dental plans covering preventive care (cleanings, X-rays), basic services (fillings, extractions), and major work (crowns, root canals). Available as indemnity or PPO-style plans.

Vision Insurance

Annual eye exams, prescription glasses, and contact lens allowances. Often bundled with dental for a single affordable monthly premium — ideal for individuals and families.

Cancer Insurance

Pays a lump sum or per-treatment benefit upon a cancer diagnosis — covering chemo, radiation, experimental treatment, and more. Cash goes directly to you.

Heart Attack & Stroke

A cardiac event can sideline you for months. Heart/stroke policies pay cash benefits for hospitalization, surgery, and recovery — no coordination of benefits required.

Critical Illness

Broader than cancer or heart-only plans — covers organ failure, major burns, paralysis, coma, and other qualifying diagnoses with a lump-sum cash payout.

Accident Insurance

Pays for ER visits, fractures, dislocations, lacerations, and follow-up care after an accidental injury — no deductible required, cash paid directly to you.

Cash Paid Directly to You

Supplemental benefit plans pay straight to your bank account — use the money for medical bills, mortgage, groceries, childcare, or anything else you need.

Works With Any Health Plan

All of these plans layer on top of your existing coverage — employer plan, marketplace plan, or Medicare — or stand alone when you're between plans.
