CNO Financial Group, Inc.’s (CNO - Free Report) subsidiary, Washington National Insurance Company, launched an Accident Insurance product, which will be available for both individual and worksite sales. The new product will directly provide customers with lump-sum cash benefits in case of a covered accidental injury.
Washington National offers supplemental health and life insurance products to the middle-income group in the country. The new product will likely enable customers to pay for costs that are not covered in traditional health or disability insurance plans. The new product incorporates four levels of coverage and six optional benefit riders among other things.
The Accident Insurance product has some competitive features, which differentiate it from other products offered in the market. It gives policyholders control over the benefits, complementing their existing health insurance plans, and providing them a much-needed financial security during tough times. The product is currently offered in 30 states and more states are expected to join the list later this year.
The average cost of treatment of a non-fatal injury involving an emergency room visit is $6,620, per the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. However, 57% of the people are unable to afford an emergency expense of $1,000, per Fortune. This signifies the need for a product like Accident Insurance for financial security.
Moves like this are expected to provide CNO Financial’s business with a competitive edge over its peers. Introducing new and updated products according to the market need will likely help it to generate higher premiums in the coming days. Its new annualized premiums for health and life products advanced 7% year over year in the first quarter to $96.6 million.
Price Performance
CNO Financial shares have increased 13.3% in the past year against the 13.5% fall of the industry it belongs to.
