Gap & Cash-Benefit Protection Plans

Built for 1099 contractors and small business owners — supplemental plans pay cash directly to you, filling the gaps your major medical leaves behind.

Why 1099 Workers Need Supplemental Coverage

When you're self-employed, a hospital stay or serious diagnosis doesn't just affect your health — it threatens your income and your business. Supplemental plans pay cash benefits directly to you, not your provider, so you can cover deductibles, replace lost income, pay your team, or keep your business running while you recover.

11 Plans. Every Gap Covered.
