Group Accident Coverage

Help when the unexpected happens

Accidents happen. When they occur, out-of-pocket costs for things such as doctor visits, X-rays and physical therapy can add up fast. Group accident coverage from Symetra Life Insurance Company can help.

How it worksYou are being offered group accident coverage for three (3) separate accidents per year. The coverage pays benefits for eligible expenses incurred as a result of an accident (unless covered by workers’ compensation or similar law) up to the benefit amount selected per occurrence. This means that eligible expenses related to a specific accident occurrence—even if incurred on different days or with different providers—will be covered under the same per occurrence benefit.

Eligible expenses related to an accident occurrence will be paid at 100% up to the preselected benefit amount. You are responsible for any remaining balances.

You may receive up to three (3) benefits per year. Each per occurrence benefit is tied to a specific accident and cannot be used to cover expenses related to any other accident occurrence.

SBM-6272 6/15

After an accident, unexpected medical costs can make a bad situation even more stressful. Group accident coverage can help relieve some of the financial pressure.

Critical Illness Insurance

Financial support after a serious medical condition

continued >

It’s estimated that three out of four healthy individuals over the age of 40 will become critically ill at some point during their lives.1

Are your finances protected if this happens to you?

Many people diagnosed with cancer, heart attack or other life-altering conditions face unexpected out-of-pocket costs. Critical illness insurance can provide a bit of relief by paying a lump-sum benefit that can be used for anything—transportation, child care, other expenses—allowing you to concentrate on your recovery rather than finances.

Policy features

• Provides a lump-sum payment upon the diagnosis of a covered critical illness

• Benefits are paid directly to you and can be used any way you choose

• Pays regardless of any other coverage you may have

• Guaranteed issue amounts are available with no medical underwriting

• Spousal/dependent coverage may be available

How it works

If you are diagnosed with a covered critical illness after the policy is in effect, you will

receive a payment that is equal to the benefit amount of your policy multiplied by the

percentage for that covered illness as shown in the table below.

Covered critical illness conditions2

Percentage of

benefit amount paid*

Category 1 Invasive cancer 100%

Minor cancer 25%

Category 2 Heart attack 100%

Stroke 100%

Coronary artery disease needing surgery or angioplasty

25%

Category 3 Coma due to accident 100%

Occupational HIV infection 100%

Loss of sight 100%

Loss of speech 100%

Loss of hearing 100%

Major organ failure 100%

End-stage renal disease 100%

Paralysis due to accident 100%

Severe burns 100%

* The benefit amount reduces by 50% starting at age 70.

Covered conditions are grouped into three categories. If the diagnosed critical illness

does not qualify for the full benefit amount (in other words, the percentage is less than

100%), you could receive an additional lump-sum benefit upon diagnosis of a different

type of critical illness within the same category up to the 100% maximum. Benefits in

different categories are subject to a separation period of 12 months between diagnoses.2

2 May vary by state.

To review your critical

illness benefits, please

refer to the policy or

talk with your human

resources representative.

Once you enroll, you

can contact the policy

administrator, Select

Benefit Administrators,

at [email protected]

or 1-800-497-3699.

What is critical illness insurance?

This type of policy provides a lump-sum payment upon the diagnosis of a covered

condition after the effective date of the policy. Benefits are paid directly to you and

may be used for anything you need.

Is my critical illness benefit taxable?

Benefit payments under this policy may be considered taxable income to the extent

you pay premiums on a pre-tax basis or your employer pays premiums on your behalf

without including them in your income. Symetra reports taxable income to you and the

IRS as required on tax form 1099-MISC. For more information, consult your tax advisor.

What if I have already been diagnosed with a covered critical illness?

Symetra’s Critical Illness policy has a pre-existing conditions limitation.2 Benefits will

not be paid for any condition or illness that is diagnosed or treated during the 12

months before the effective date of your policy. However, a pre-existing condition may

be eligible for benefits if the condition is re-diagnosed at least 12 months after the

effective date of the coverage.

What is my lump-sum benefit?

That depends on your policy. Please refer to your enrollment materials or ask your

human resources representative. Covered conditions are paid at the amount shown in

the policy until you reach your 70th birthday. At age 70, the benefit reduces to 50% of

the total amount.

Can I get coverage for my spouse or my children?

Yes. Spousal coverage is available at up to 50% of the primary insured’s coverage

amount. Dependent child coverage is 25% of the primary insured’s coverage,

up to $10,000.

If I have disability insurance, do I need critical illness insurance too?

Disability income insurance helps individuals maintain their standard of living while

recovering from a disabling illness or injury. While having these benefits is an important

part of your financial plan, critical illness insurance provides additional support to help

cover expenses after the diagnosis of a serious condition.

Will I need to answer medical questions?

Not if you elect a benefit within the guaranteed issue amount. If you are eligible and

choose coverage over the guaranteed issue amount outlined in your enrollment

materials, you will need to complete a medical questionnaire.

Is there a benefit waiting period?

Yes. The benefit waiting period is 30 days2 following the date your coverage under the

policy takes effect.

When will I receive my benefit payment?

Generally, Symetra will make a decision on your claim within 30 days of receiving your

completed claim form. In some circumstances, this period may be extended up to an

additional 15 days.

Critical IllnessIntroduction to Critical Illness

To help guard against the financial impact of a critical illness, employees and members are looking for additional coverage that offers another layer of protection. Consider critical illness coverage as another way to combat the costs associated with an illness that may easily add financial pressure to an already stressful situation.

How It Works

Upon diagnosis of a covered critical illness after the policy is in effect, the insured will receive a lump sum benefit amount that can be used in any way chosen. Covered conditions are divided into categories and each condition pays a fixed percentage of the benefit amount between 25% and 100%.

Benefit Categories

The following are the Benefit Categories for your Critical Illness coverage provided by your Employer:

Category 1 Invasive cancer: 100%, minor cancer: 25%

Category 2 Heart attack and stroke: 100%, coronary artery disease needing surgery or angioplasty: 25%

Category 3 Coma due to accident, occupational HIV infection, loss of sight, loss of speech, loss of hearing, major organ failure, end-stage renal failure, paralysis due to accident, severe burns: 100%

Category 4 Advanced Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, ALS and other motor neuron diseases: 100%

Employee Benefit Amount(s)

Critical Illness benefit: $5,000, $10,000, $15,000Guaranteed Issue Amount: Up to $15,000

Dependent Benefit Amount(s)

Spouse: 50% of the employee's benefit. Guaranteed Issue Amount: Up to $5,000Child: 25% of the employee's benefit, not to exceed $10,000. Guaranteed Issue Amount: Up to $10,000

Coverage Details

The benefit amount for employee, spouse, and child is reduced by 50% on the policy anniversary date that occurs on or follows the employee's 70th birthday.

Benefit Waiting Period

Coverage begins 30 days2 from the date of enrollment. If the coverage amount is later increased,

another 30-day2 waiting period will apply.Pre-existing Conditions

Benefits are not paid for any condition diagnosed or treated during the 12 months2 before the effective date of coverage. New claims for pre-existing condition are covered once the policy has

been in effect for 12 months2.

Separation Period The time period between the diagnosis dates of different critical illnesses in either the same or another critical illness category. Benefits for different covered illnesses may be payable if the dates

of diagnosis are separated by at least 12 months2.
