When life takes an unexpected turn, ancillary insurance plans help fill the gaps that traditional health insurance doesn't always cover. These plans—like Dental, Accident, Cancer, Critical Illness, and Dental, Vision, and Hearing coverage—can provide much-needed financial relief during some of life’s toughest moments. Here’s why these plans are worth considering: Out-of-pocket protection: Even with good health insurance, deductibles, copays, and uncovered expenses can add up quickly. Ancillary plans provide direct cash benefits to help cover those gaps. Income replacement: If an illness or injury keeps you from working, these plans can help cover everyday expenses like rent, groceries, and bills. Affordable peace of mind: Most plans are low-cost and can be customized based on your needs and budget. Support for preventive care: Dental, vision, and hearing plans encourage regular checkups, which can catch small issues before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems. Portability: Many ancillary policies stay with you even if you change jobs, offering long-term value and stability. Why Aflac?
