Marcus User Story

Marcus's Ansel plan in action

Marcus is a 38 year old dad of three, so he enrolled himself and his kids in the Ansel Enhanced Plan. Note, this isn’t a real story but it’s a realistic illustration to help you understand how Ansel helps.

Torn ACL

Marcus tore his ACL and got a $1,000 Severe benefit.

In January, Marcus hurt his knee playing soccer and filed a claim in his Ansel app. He received a $1,000 Severe benefit payout because his diagnosis, Torn ACL, is a covered Severe condition in his Ansel policy.

dehydration

He got a $300 Moderate benefit for his daughter's dehydration.

A few months later, his daughter caught a bad stomach flu. She was diagnosed with Dehydration, a covered Moderate condition in Marcus’s Ansel policy. He filed a claim and received a Moderate benefit payout of $300.

Marcus used the funds for medical bills and extra expenses.

Since Ansel benefits can be used for anything, Marcus used some of the money to pay medical bills, and the rest helped cover extra groceries to help his daughter recover.
