Supplemental Health Solutions

Consider upgrading your benefit coverage by choosing supplemental benefits.

The Value of Supplemental Health Benefits

  • Coverage is affordable and offered to you at group rates.
  • You own the policy and can take it with you if you leave USD.
  • Premiums are conveniently deducted from your paycheck.
  • You can insure yourself, your spouse/domestic partner, and your eligible child(ren).
  • You don’t have to answer any health questions to obtain coverage, but a pre-existing condition clause may apply.

Upon diagnosis of a covered illness, the lump-sum benefit is paid directly to you (unless otherwise assigned), regardless of other major medical coverage you may already have. You can use the funds to pay for medical bills, to continue making rent or mortgage payments, or however you see fit. Your cost for Critical Illness Insurance is based on your age and the level of coverage you purchase.

An unexpected hospital stay can be expensive, even with medical insurance. You can purchase Hospital Indemnity Insurance, through Cigna, to help pay for expenses related to a qualified hospital stay for a covered injury or illness. Benefits are paid directly to you, and the funds can be used as you see fit. The benefit you receive depends on the type of care you receive at the hospital and the length of your stay.

Coverage Monthly Rates
Employee Only $15.25
Employee + Spouse $30.34
Employee + Child(ren) $24.91
Employee + Family $40.00

IMPORTANT: This is a fixed indemnity policy, NOT health insurance
This fixed indemnity policy may pay you a limited dollar amount if you’re sick or hospitalized. You’re still responsible for paying the cost of your care.

  • The payment you get isn’t based on the size of your medical bill.
  • There might be a limit on how much this policy will pay each year.
  • This policy isn’t a substitute for comprehensive health insurance.
  • Since this policy isn’t health insurance, it doesn’t have to include most Federal consumer protections that apply to health insurance.
