Guardian Accident Protection Plus helps with the unexpected expenses from an accidental injury such as a broken bone, burn, or concussion that medical insurance doesn't fully cover. More than 25 injury and treatment types are covered, including ambulance charges, emergency room visits, hospital costs, surgery, crutches, physical therapy, and more. Benefits paid are based on the type of injury, severity of the injury, and type of treatments you receive. Cash benefits are paid directly to you -- not to doctors or hospitals -- and can be used in any way you choose.

Remember to cover your kids! Where there are kids, there are accidents. And if your child is injured during an organized sport event, the cash benefit paid increases by 20%! 

No. Guardian Accident Protection Plus is a supplemental health insurance plan that is not a substitute for major medical coverage. It's designed to cover the out-of-pocket costs from an accidental injury that your major medical plan does not cover. The cash benefit can be used in any way you choose to pay for expenses such as medical deductibles and copays, or even your mortgage, household expenses, or child care.

No. Guardian Accident Protection Plus has no deductibles (amounts that you must cover before the plan pays benefits), there are no waiting periods during which no benefits are paid, and there is no yearly maximum payout amount.

Accident insurance is for those who want to avoid using savings to cover the unexpected costs of an accident. If you'd rather establish your own rainy day savings, we respect that! But if your savings would suffer a setback to pay for the costs beyond what major medical insurance will cover, then give Guardian Accident Protection Plus a look. A cash benefit paid directly to you may help reduce financial stress. Cash benefit can be used in any way you choose, to cover medical deductibles and copays, ambulance charges, crutches, physical therapy, or even household expenses.

Yes, with Guardian Accident Protection Plus you can see any doctor you choose. There are no restrictions on doctors, care centers, or hospitals that you can use.

New Mexico Residents - Important Notice

The coverage provided under your benefits plan or policy underwritten by Guardian is limited in nature and may not provide financial protection for significant costs that you could incur for the diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19 ("Corona virus") related illness.

If you do not have comprehensive major medical coverage, in addition to the plan or policy issued by our company, you may incur significant uninsured medical expenses associated with the diagnosis and treatment of illness caused by COVID-19.

Major medical plans offer robust consumer protections, and are required to waive all deductibles, co-pays and other cost sharing expenses for the diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19 related illness. Your policy or plan with us is not a major medical plan and does not provide such protections.

If you do not have major medical coverage, you may:

1. Contact a licensed insurance broker or agent to see about major medical coverage availability.

2. To see if you are eligible for a special enrollment period for major medical coverage through the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange, contact beWellnm toll-free at 1-833-862-3935.

3. To see if you are eligible for Medicaid coverage and to complete an application, please call the Human Services Department's Medicaid Expansion Hotline toll-free at l-855-637-6574 or visit https://www.yes.state.nm.us/yesnm/home/index.

4. To see if you are eligible for high risk pool coverage, please contact the New Mexico Medical Insurance Pool (the "High Risk Pool") at 1-844-728-7896 or https://nmmip.org/. If you are uninsured and have a COVID-19 diagnosis, your condition qualifies you for Pool coverage.

The Centers for Disease Control and the New Mexico Department of Health each have websites with considerable information on COVID-19. Visit each website at https://www.cdc.gov/ or http://cv.nmhealth.org/.
