AWA Rolls Out New Accident and Short Term Medical Insurance Plans

Affiliated Workers Association (AWA), through its exclusive third- party administrator, Homeland HealthCare, has launched two new insurance plans, including an accident plan and guaranteed issue short term medical plan.

According to a release, the accident plan, called Protect Now, is underwritten by A-rated carrier XL Catlin. Three plan levels are available that provide accident protection that pays cash benefits for covered accident expenses. In addition to accident protection, the plan includes an added critical illness benefit. The company said the plan is a great complement to an existing health plan, as it helps pay for expenses while deductibles are being met.

The new short term medical plan, called Health Assure, is a guaranteed issue (GI) plan underwritten by National Health Insurance Company. The company said this new GI short term medical plan does not require health questions to qualify, making it the perfect solution for individuals who need temporary health insurance. Health Assure is available in term lengths of 6 and 11 months, depending on the plan selected with a variety of deductible options.

Both the accident and GI short term medical plans include non- insured benefits, such as 24/7 telemedicine services and a discount prescription program.

"AWA is excited to launch these two new supplemental insurance plans," said Neil Peterson, AWA President. "Both plans further extend the insurance options available to our members, which is important with the changes that continue to take place with the new health care law."

Homeland HealthCare is a third-party administrator (TPA) and general agency specializing in the management of individual and group health insurance plans.

AWA provides small business owners, entrepreneurs, independent contractors and self-employed individuals with professional, lifestyle, and health benefits and other resources.
