TRAUMA COVERAGE®

Protection for every stage of life

Health insurance covers hospital bills and doctor visits, but not the weeks after a covered traumatic event—when a student can’t return to class, a parent can’t work, costs pile up, and the family needs confidential trauma counseling right away. Through SAGE Scholars, families can add Trauma Coverage to close those gaps, with benefits that may include specialized trauma counseling, lost-wage support, recuperation reimbursements, student financial assistance, and an accidental death benefit. There is no waiting period, coverage is guaranteed issue, and you choose who is protected:
