What Is Not Covered
The Business Travel Accident Insurance benefit covers only a loss from an accidental injury that happens while you are on a Company-approved business trip. The Plan doesn't cover any loss related to:
  • sickness or disease, except certain skin infections which occur through an accidental cut or wound
  • suicide or attempted suicide (while sane or insane)
  • declared or undeclared war or any act of declared war or undeclared war
  • service in the armed forces of any country
The Plan also has some aircraft and flying restrictions. The types of air travel not covered by the Plan are:
  • air travel while acting as a pilot, operator or crew member for any aircraft; air travel while flying in any aircraft that does not have a current and valid airworthiness certificate or is flown by a person who does not have a valid and current certificate of competency of a rating authorizing him or her to pilot such aircraft
  • air travel while flying in any aircraft owned or operated by the Company
To be covered, the loss has to occur within 365 days of the accident.
Restrictions
If several employees or covered persons are involved in a common accident, is my benefit affected?
If more than one covered person is involved in the same accident, the Plan's payment is limited to $50,000,000 for all covered persons involved in the accident.
If the Plan's normal payments would be more than this limit, benefits for all affected covered persons are decreased proportionately, so the total benefit paid does not exceed $50,000,000.
Covered Travel
Does the Business Travel Accident Insurance cover commuting to and from work?
Your Business Travel Accident Insurance also provides coverage for accidents that happen while you commute to and from work.
When does coverage begin and end for a business trip?
When you leave on a business trip, you are covered:
  • from the time you leave home or your regular workplace to begin the trip, whichever occurs last
  • until you return home or to your workplace, whichever you reach first
Does the Plan cover personal air travel?
The Plan covers employees while riding as a passenger in a commercial aircraft on personal travel.
