Overview

Supplemental medical plans provide cash payments in the event of a significant unexpected medical expense. You pay the full cost of coverage through post-tax payroll deductions. Be sure to consider your anticipated medical needs for the coming year — for example, a major surgery — when deciding if supplemental coverage is right for you.

Sonos offers three different types of supplemental medical plans.

Keep in Mind

On their own, these plans don’t provide the minimum level of medical coverage needed to meet health care reform requirements. Rather, they’re intended to supplement the coverage provided by your medical plan.

 

Accident Insurance

Accident Insurance helps protect you from unexpected financial stress if you or a covered family member has an accident. This plan pays benefits for a long list of covered minor and series injuries. When you receive a benefit, it's extra cash to use as you choose. You can use the money to pay out-of-pocket expenses not covered by your medical plan (such as your deductible or coinsurance) or for anything else (such as rent, utilities, and other living expenses). When you receive a payment, it’s extra cash to use as you choose, whether that’s paying medical bills or using it to cover your rent/utilities.

This plan provides financial protection by paying you a benefit for things like:

  • Injuries including fractures, dislocations, concussions, lacerations, eye injuries, torn knee cartilage, ruptured discs, and severe burns.
  • Medical services and treatments including ambulance, emergency care, therapy services, medical testing (for example, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans), and medical appliances.
  • Hospitalization including hospital admission and confinement after an accident.

You can choose from a Low Option and a High Option. Some examples of benefits payments are as follows:

  Low Option High Option
Emergency Room, Urgent Care, or Major Diagnostic Exam $100 $200
Accident Follow-Up$50, up to 2 times per accident, up to 6 per year $100, up to 3 times per accident, up to 9 per year

Critical Illness Insurance

When a serious illness strikes, Critical Illness Insurance — available through Aetna — can provide financial support to help you through a difficult time. It protects against the financial impact of certain illnesses, such as a heart attack, cancer, stroke, or organ transplants.

If you are diagnosed with a covered illness, you receive a lump-sum benefit to cover out-of-pocket expenses for your treatment, to pay your coinsurance, or to take care of your everyday living expenses such as housekeeping services, special transportation services, and child care. However, it's completely up to you how you use the money.

Coverage options are:

  • Employee coverage: Low Option provides a benefit up to $15,000 or the High Option provides up to $30,000.
  • Spouse and child(ren) coverage: Family members are covered at 50% of employee's coverage amount.

Some examples of benefits payments are:

Hospital Indemnity Insurance

A trip to the hospital can be stressful, and so can the bills. Even with a major medical plan, you may still be responsible for copays, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs. Offered through Aetna, the Hospital Indemnity Plan can help offset your share of the cost associated with a covered sickness or accident. When you receive a benefit from this plan, you can use it to help cover your out-of-pocket costs for things like a hospital stay, ambulance service, surgery, and certain inpatient or outpatient treatments. However, it's completely up to you how you use the money.

You can choose from a Low Option and a High Option. Here are some examples of what an employee would receive as a benefit payment:

Low Option High Option
Hospital Admission $1,500 per year $2,000 per year
Daily Hospital Limit

$150

Up to 30 days per year

$200

Up to 30 days per year

Newborn Routine Care (while in hospital) $200 $200
