Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does the policy cover accidents that happen at home?
Yes. The coverage is not limited to the workplace; it applies to accidents that occur anywhere, including at home, while commuting, or during leisure activities, provided the event is accidental and not excluded.
Q2: Can an employee claim for both medical expenses and the lumpsum benefit?
The lumpsum benefit is independent of medical expense reimbursement. If an employee has a separate health insurance plan, they can claim medical costs under that plan while still receiving the PA benefit.
Q3: What happens if an employee leaves the company?
Coverage ceases on the effective date of termination. Any claims for accidents that occurred while the employee was covered will still be honored, provided they are submitted within the policys claimsubmission window.
Q4: Is there a waiting period before coverage becomes active?
Standard policies have a 30day waiting period after enrollment. Some employers may negotiate a shorter or waived waiting period.
