Specialty Benefits

In collaboration with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Blue Care Network

Get complete coverage with specialty benefits

Your health plan helps cover your medical costs if you’re sick or in an accident. But what about the other costs? What if you need help with things like lost wages or living expenses while you recover?

Specialty Benefit plans from LifeSecure Insurance Company and Assurity Life Insurance Company can help. Pair them with your Blue Cross medical plan to extend your coverage and protect your finances.

Read more about LifeSecure and Assurity’s specialty benefit options below. Contact your insurance agent with any questions on the BCBSM Specialty Benefits products.

Life

Protect those you care about with a plan that lets you:

  • Apply quickly, with no medicals exams or invasive tests
  • Choose from various premium levels

Disability

When you can’t work because of a medical issue, you risk losing your income.

A disability plan from Assurity is like paycheck protection. It replaces some of your income to help with living expenses while you recover.

  • Start benefits quickly with just a phone call

  • Use your monthly cash benefit any way you want

Policy form number I D0710 underwritten by Assurity Life Insurance Company, Lincoln, Nebraska. Product availability, rates and features may vary by state.

Accident

If you’re injured, you might end up off of work while bills come in from your recovery. LifeSecure personal accident insurance can help you deal with some of those costs.

  • There’s no medical exam or other requirement to sign up. You just need to be between the ages of 18-74.
  • Your annual deductible is $100. If you don’t get any benefits for a calendar year, your deductible will decrease by $20 on Jan. 1 the following year. If you don’t get any benefits for five consecutive calendar years, your deductible disappears.
  • You choose an annual benefit bank amount. If you get any benefits for a calendar year, then on Jan. 1, your benefit bank returns to the full amount.
  • LifeSecure has an online budgeting tool that can help you decide the amount of your annual benefit bank based on how much you want to spend.

How personal accident coverage works

Say you broke your ankle during a snowmobiling trip. You can use your personal accident benefits to help with these costs. You chose a benefit bank amount of $10,000 with a $100 deductible.

$8,000 (covered expenses, after adjustments and discounts) – $100 (personal accident deductible) = $7,900 (payout to you)

Your annual benefit bank would have $2,100 left until Jan. 1.

Critical Illness

When you face a critical illness, you also face substantial costs. A critical illness plan from LifeSecure can help. With this plan, you can get help paying for things like lost income, out-of-pocket costs and treatments that your health plan may not cover.

  • Critical illness insurance provides a lump-sum benefit upon diagnosis of a covered disease, regardless of any other insurance you have
  • Health Screening Benefit as a standard feature. Once per calendar year, you can receive $50 for a covered wellness procedure
  • Dependent children are automatically covered – at no additional cost

Policy form number: LS-CI-0001 underwritten by LifeSecure Insurance Company, Brighton, MI.  Product availability, rates and features may vary by state. This policy has exclusions and limitations. For costs and complete details of the coverage, contact a health plan advisor at 1-855-288-6721 or talk to your insurance agent.

Hospital Recovery

If you have a hospital stay, your medical insurance helps cover those costs. But after you’re home, you might have additional expenses from your recovery that you hadn’t planned for. LifeSecure’s hospital recovery insurance can help cover some of those costs.

  • Your benefit payout after an inpatient hospital stay comes directly to you.
  • You choose your daily benefit amount. You’ll receive that amount for each day you were in the hospital, up to 30 days.
  • Your annual benefit bank is equal to your daily benefit amount multiplied by 30. If you collect any benefits during the year, then on Jan. 1, your benefit bank returns to the full amount.
  • LifeSecure has an online budgeting tool that can help you decide your daily benefit amount based on how much you want to spend.

How hospital recovery insurance works

Say you’re in the hospital for four days for knee replacement surgery. You chose a daily benefit amount of $500 for an annual benefit bank of $15,000.

$500 (daily benefit amount) x 30 (maximum days) = $15,000 (in your annual benefit bank)

You would receive $2000 for your inpatient hospital stay and your annual benefit bank would have $13,000 remaining. On Jan. 1, it’ll return to $15,000.

$500 (daily benefit amount) x 4 (days hospitalized) = $2,000

$15,000 (annual benefit bank) – $2,000  (payout to you) = $13,000 (remaining in your benefit bank)
