Supplementary Major Medical

Supplementary Major Medical insurance is a type of health insurance policy that helps cover some or all of the costs associated with medical treatment and hospitalization, including deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. It is designed to provide additional coverage on top of an existing health insurance policy or as a standalone policy. Here are some key features of Supplementary Major Medical insurance:

  • Provides coverage for medical expenses beyond what is covered by a primary health insurance policy
  • Helps to cover deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments
  • May provide coverage for medical services that are not covered by a primary health insurance policy
  • May have a higher annual limit on benefits than a primary health insurance policy
  • Can be purchased as a standalone policy or as an add-on to an existing health insurance policy

Here's an example of how Supplementary Major Medical insurance works:  

Let's say you have a health insurance policy with a $2,000 deductible and a 20% coinsurance requirement. You're admitted to the hospital for a procedure that costs $10,000. After you've paid your $2,000 deductible, you're responsible for 20% of the remaining $8,000, or $1,600. If you have Supplementary Major Medical insurance with a $5,000 limit, your policy would cover the remaining $3,400 of your medical expenses.

Vision is the most commonly offered ancillary benefit in employer-sponsored plans — 89% of employers offer it nationally, higher than dental, higher than life insurance, and higher than any voluntary benefit. And yet vision is also one of the most underfunded benefits in the market.
Dental benefits are not your largest cost center. For most employers, dental represents a fraction of what medical costs per covered employee annually. But dental is one of the highest visibility benefits in your package: employees use it, notice it, and talk about it. When it’s good, it builds goodwill. When it’s inadequate (low maximums, no orthodontia, zero employer contribution) it registers as a signal that the employer isn’t invested in the total package.
How an employer funds its health plan sits quietly in the background of every benefits decision. Most CHROs and CFOs know their premium cost. Fewer understand the mechanics of how their plan is actually structured: who holds the risk, who administers the claims, how costs flow, and what flexibility, if any, they have to change any of it.
