After a hospital stay, accident, or critical illness, unexpected expenses not covered by major medical insurance can pile up fast. So whether you've been laid up or are tending the needs of a sick or injured spouse or child, Aflac pays cash benefits directly to you (unless otherwise assigned) so your wallet doesn't need time to heal.


Aflac helps with: 

Living Expenses 


  • Travel expenses to and from special treatment centers
  • Food and lodging while receiving care away from home
  • House, rent, utilities, or auto payments
  • Lost income, resulting in a double whammy if the healthy spouse has to leave work to care for the recuperating one
  • Groceries
  • Child care
  • Extra household help
  • Other out-of-pocket expenses 



Medical Expenses
Out-of-pocket medical expenses
