Who is going to pay the bills?

In the event of a serious injury, paying the medical bills may be the least of your worries. If you can't work, how will you pay the rest of your bills? You still need to put food on the table, pay rent or mortgage, auto loans and all the rest. Worse yet, what will you do if both you and your spouse are disabled and unable to work? Who is going to pay the bills?

The answer is simple. Include the optional AccidentSHIELD Accidental TDD benefit in your WBA membership.

This benefit pays the weekly benefit amount elected, after the elimination period of seven days, if an accidental bodily injury causes an insured person to suffer Temporary Total Disability. Temporary Total Disability means that an accidental bodily injury solely and directly: a) prevents an insured person from performing the substantial and material duties of such insured person's regular occupation (or with respect to an insured person who is unemployed, prevents such insured person from engaging in the normal and customary activities of a person of like age and sex in good health); b) causes a condition which is medically determined, by a physician, to be continuous; and c) requires the continuous care of a physician. The weekly benefit amount for Temporary Total Disability will be paid until the earliest of the date on which: a) the insured person dies; b) the insured person fails to provide satisfactory evidence of a continuing Temporary Total Disability; c) the insured person no longer has a Temporary Total Disability; or d) the maximum benefit period of 52 weeks has ended.

Periods of Temporary Total Disability separated by less than fourteen (14) consecutive days of return to work will be considered one period of Temporary Total Disability, unless due to separate and unrelated causes. No additional elimination period will be required. However, the maximum benefit period of 52 weeks will be reduced by the number of weeks for which benefits have already been paid.

Limitations on Temporary Total Disability: No Weekly Benefit Amount for Temporary Total Disability shall be paid for any period of time during which the insured person is not under the continuous care of a Physician.
