New Member Benefits through Aflac
Looking for a way to give your financial security a boost?
That's why you need insurance from Aflac. In case of an accident or illness, Aflac insurance policies pay cash benefits directly to you, unless assigned, regardless of any other insurance you may have. Use the cash benefits for such expenses as:
- Escalating deductibles, copayments, out-of-network charges, and any other expenses not picked up by your major medical coverage
- Travel-related expenses for treatment in distant medical centers, including airfare, hotels, and meals
- Everyday living expenses like mortgage (or rent) payments, car notes, groceries, and utility bills
- Lost income, resulting in a “double whammy” if the healthy spouse has to leave work to care for the recuperating one
- Plus, there’s no preauthorization or strings attached
Online Enrollments are by clicking here. For additional information or to enroll today, contact Julia Murray at 404-975-4954 or julia_murray@us.aflac.com.
