Insurance Programs / Member Benefits

Accident & Sickness Coverage.

Twenty-four-hour benefits that follow your members off the apparatus floor. Weekly indemnity, medical reimbursement, accidental death and dismemberment, and an off-duty endorsement most state pools either exclude outright or sub-limit to a number that won't make a mortgage payment.

What is the best way to contact you?

  • On-duty and off-duty, 24/7

What an A&S policy actually does the day a member gets hurt — written so the family doesn't need a lawyer to read it.

What's Inside Accident & Sickness

The Coverage, Without the Jargon.

What an A&S policy actually does the day a member gets hurt — written so the family doesn't need a lawyer to read it.

Coverage follows your members whether they are on the apparatus, at home, or working a second job. Off-duty inclusion is the gap most county and state pools either exclude or sub-limit to $5,000 — we write it on a parity basis with on-duty.

Direct-to-member claims pay

Direct-to-member claims pay

Weekly indemnity wired to the member, not the department. The chief doesn't become a payroll desk for someone else's injury claim.

Family support coordination

Family support coordination

On a line-of-duty event, our advocate coordinates with PSOB, the IAFF or NVFC, and your local family support program — so the family talks to one person, not seven.

Renewal claims review

Renewal claims review

An annual review of every open and closed file, so the department sees exactly where injuries are happening and what training would move the loss profile next year.

How It Works

From First Call to Bound Policy.

A three-step process designed so the day a member gets hurt is not the first time anyone reads the policy.

01

Roster intake & exposure review

We onboard your full active roster, including auxiliary and probationary members, and document the off-duty exposure most pools quietly ignore.

02

Benefit design & buy-up options

We design a base benefit the department funds and a member-paid buy-up tier, so individuals can scale coverage to family needs without budget pressure on the department.

03

Bind, train, and stay ready

We bind coverage, train officers on the claim intake process, and run a 30-minute drill so the first reportable injury isn't the first time anyone touches the form.

Why Accident & Sickness With VFIS

The Specialty Difference.

Most retail accident policies were drafted for restaurant kitchens and construction crews. Off-duty exposure, presumptive cancer, and stacking with workers comp are afterthoughts. Our A&S programs were drafted with line-of-duty death and 24-hour exposure as the starting assumption.

Volunteer pay rates, combination-department duty schedules, mutual-aid deployments, and the difference between an A&S claim and a workers comp claim — all answered by an advocate who has run the form a thousand times.
