At Globe Life, we help families Make Tomorrow Better by working to help protect their financial future. During this challenging time, the communities we serve have frequently asked questions regarding coverage as it pertains to COVID-19. We want to assure you we have a dedicated team monitoring this rapidly-changing situation and are taking every measure possible to ensure we can continue to serve our customers without interruption. The following is subject to change at any time and will be updated as applicable.
Are there any plan or policy limitations that would impact a COVID-19 related claim?
See our product listing below for an answer to this question.
- Life Insurance: For Individual or Group Life insurance, there are no policy limitations that would limit a claim payment resulting from COVID-19, provided the individual met all other policy requirements and assuming the individual was accurate and truthful on his/her application.
- Accidental Death, or Accidental Death/Dismemberment: AD&D policies do not cover diseases. Therefore, death due to COVID-19 is excluded, as are all deaths by disease.
- Hospital Indemnity/Intensive Care: Because COVID-19 is a viral infection it would be considered a sickness and the Sickness Hospital and Intensive Care Unit Benefits would be payable provided the individual met all other policy requirements.
- Critical Illness/Cancer Insurance: COVID-19 is not a covered condition under our critical illness/cancer products.
- Medicare Supplement: Medicare covers the lab tests for COVID-19. You pay no out-of-pocket costs for diagnostic testing.The COVID-19 vaccine is also covered by Medicare.
Can I use my coverage if I need to be tested for COVID-19?
Some of our policies (i.e. Accident, Hospital, etc.) provide coverage for an annual wellness or health screening benefit. Tests for COVID-19, as well as other laboratory tests, may be covered as a wellness or health screening benefit under the policy.
If I am diagnosed with COVID-19 and confined to a hospital, how can my policy help me?
Depending on the type of coverage and treatment, there may be hospitalization, intensive care, physician visits, ambulance, emergency room, laboratory tests, and X-ray benefits available in the policy.
