The need

Your employees may need help paying eligible out-of-pocket expenses incurred from major medical insurance.

The solution

Gap insurance reimburses eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses like deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. (Gap insurance is not meant to replace health insurance. It is only available if an employer has a major medical health insurance plan in place.)

No Health Savings Account (HSA)? No problem.

This coverage can be a beneficial supplement for high deductible health insurance plans without HSAs.

Gap insurance features include:

  • Guaranteed issue
  • No medical questions
  • Optional dependent coverage
  • Simplified administration and use
