TAKEAWAYS

  • Supplemental insurance fills gaps health insurance doesn’t—like deductibles and lost income.

  • Aflac pays cash directly to you, not the hospital.

  • Cancer coverage matters—treatment often spans five+ years of new deductibles.

  • Accident coverage saves families from endless copays and ER bills.

  • Disability coverage protects income—common for maternity leave and injuries.

  • Employees often make costly enrollment mistakes without guidance.

  • Employers can offer Aflac at no cost—it’s payroll-deducted.

  • Benefits education = smarter choices + happier employees.

  • Minnesota’s new PFML law helps but doesn’t replace supplemental coverage.

  • Solopreneurs and small teams can access plans too.
