Melanie's Ansel plan in action

Melanie is a mom of 3. She enrolled herself and her 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.

Melanie’s daughter Maya fractured her wrist playing soccer.

It was a simple fracture that didn’t require surgery, so after a visit to the ER, they were sent home with Maya’s wrist in a cast.

They filed a claim in the Ansel app in minutes.

They answered 4 simple questions about what happened, and provided photos of the ER discharge paperwork, her hospital wristband, and Maya’s cast.

Melanie got a $500 Moderate payout 72 hours later.

A simple wrist fracture is a covered moderate condition, so Ansel approved the claim and paid Melanie’s Moderate benefit. She used the cash to help cover the ER bill.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need Ansel if I have health insurance?

With Ansel, if you’re diagnosed with any of 13,000+ covered conditions, you can file a claim in minutes, and once approved, get paid in hours. Use the cash for anything you need on the road to recovery.
