Protect Your Peace of Mind with Aflac Group Plans
Life is unpredictable, and unexpected health events can put a strain on even the most carefully managed budgets. As part of our commitment to supporting independent workers, we’ve partnered with Aflac to create a group plan to provide you access to their supplemental insurance plans at a lower cost. These plans provide an added layer of financial protection, helping you and your family navigate challenging times without added stress.
Aflac is not health insurance, but supplemental benefits that offer you financial assistance for medical situations. Based on the plan you choose, Aflac will directly provide you with cash benefits for events like annual health screenings ($50 under the Critical Illness plan) or visiting an Urgent Care Facility without X-ray ($150 under the Accident plan). By joining the Freelancers Union group plan, our members are able to access lower monthly rates than other individual plans currently available.
Accident Insurance:
Accidents can happen anywhere, from a slip on the stairs to an unexpected injury. Aflac’s group accident insurance offers financial support for out-of-pocket expenses like emergency room visits, X-rays, and follow-up care. Benefits are paid directly to you, so you can focus on healing without worrying about the bills.
Some of the accident plan benefits include $300 for Ground Ambulance transportation (within 90 days after the accident) and $150 for a CT/CAT Scan (1 per accident, within 6 months after the accident).
Hospitalization Insurance:
Hospital stays often bring unexpected costs, even with health insurance. Aflac’s hospitalization plan helps cover expenses such as deductibles, co-pays, and other gaps in coverage. Whether it’s for planned surgery or an unforeseen illness, this plan provides financial stability while you prioritize your health.
Critical Illness Insurance:
A diagnosis of cancer, heart disease, or another serious condition can be overwhelming—both emotionally and financially. Aflac’s critical illness plan offers a lump-sum payment to help cover medical and non-medical costs, including treatment, household expenses, and even travel for specialized care.
The critical illness plan offers a $50 benefit for an annual health screening performed as the result of preventative care (for member & spouse only) in addition to 100% of benefits (up to $30,000) for specified diseases like (internal or invasive) cancer, heart attack, stroke, & more.
These plans are designed to complement your health insurance by offering direct financial benefits when you need them most. At Freelancers Union, we’re proud to provide access to these resources so you can focus on what matters most, your health and well-being.
