AFLAC

What is Aflac?

Aflac is the acronym for the American Family Life Assurance Company. Aflac provides Supplemental Insurance that pays cash benefits direct to the insured to pay expenses that may not be covered by your medical insurance. Policies are designed with a specific monetary value assigned to a list of injuries, illness or medical procedures according to the specific policy purchased. Aflac benefits are designed to help in your time of need so you can concentrate on getting better. Cash benefits can be used as you see fit, whether that’s for co-pays and deductibles, or everyday living expenses, you decide.

Aflac polices can be purchased as an Individual consumer or through an employer Group plan. Policy availability varies between these two methods.
