The Acci-Jet Program is designed for manual workers and active people. With no medical exam, it offers simplified disability insurance coverage for all workers, including the self-employed, in the event of an accident or injury to muscles or ligaments, or illness.
If a long-term disability prevented you from earning your regular income, would you have the financial support you need to maintain your family’s lifestyle? If you’re self-employed, a farmer, a construction worker, a truck driver, a fisherman, a miner, a taxi driver, a heliski or catski instructor or any other worker without group disability coverage, the answer is probably no.
No medical exam at the time of purchase!
A medium- or long-term work leave, due to disability, would have consequences for your finances and your lifestyle. Disability and income insurance would allow you to benefit from a monthly income, so you can meet your financial commitments and cover the expenses related to your health condition.
In the event of a disability, not only would you lose your primary source of income, you may also incur additional costs related to your health.
The Acci-Jet Program offers the choice of the following coverages:
- disability insurance in the event of an accident, soft tissue injury, or illness
- overhead expense insurance
- accidental death, dismemberment or loss of use
- accidental fracture
- extended medical care further to an accident
- travel insurance
You can choose coverage that protects you only when you are not at work or coverage that is in force 24 hours a day, both on and off the job – making it a valuable extra layer of insurance protection if you are already covered on your job site by workers’ compensation.
The Acci-Jet Program coverage
- You’ll receive a monthly, non-taxable benefit and the duration of coverage can be 2 years, 5 years or up to age 70. Renewal is guaranteed.
- A monthly benefit of $500 to $6,000 to cover a period of disability in the event of an accident or soft tissue damage or illness.
- Overhead expense insurance for businesses of up to $6,000.
- Choice of coverage outside working hours or 24/ coverage regardless of whether the client is at work or not.
You can also add certain additional coverages, including overhead expenses insurance coverage, which allows you to cover operating expenses for your company.
