The specialized major medical fund designed to provide comprehensive coverage for major medical expenses. These expenses can arise from three categories - Accidents and Injuries, Terminal Illnesses, and Mental Disabilities.
Accidents and Injuries expenses are primarily covered by insurance, but in case of any overages, members can make use of the major medical policy. To qualify, the injury must impact two normal activities of daily living (ADLs) or be life-threatening. Typically, members can withdraw around $3000 - $4000 for coverage. For example, a broken arm or leg would qualify as a loss of ADLs.
There are 6 ADLs: Bathing, Toileting, Dressing, Mobility, Feeding, Transferring
Terminal illnesses such as cancer and heart disease are also covered. In these situations, members can access up to $30,000 as a one-time payment, along with an additional monthly withdrawal of $3000 - $4000.
For mental disabilities, a formal diagnosis like Alzheimer's or dementia is required. Members suffering from these conditions are entitled to receive $3000 - $4000 per month. This coverage is provided in addition to any long-term care insurance for home care or skilled nursing services.
At BAS, we prioritize the well-being and financial security of our members - ensuring adequate coverage for unforeseen medical circumstances.
