No. The insurance offered by Buddy is not health insurance and is not recommended as an alternative to health insurance. This is accident insurance which provides limited benefits. Limited benefit plans are insurance products with reduced benefits intended to supplement comprehensive health insurance plans. This insurance is not an alternative to comprehensive coverage. It does not provide major medical or comprehensive medical coverage and is not designed to replace major medical insurance. Further, this insurance is not minimum essential coverage as set forth under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Buddy offers the ONLY same-day accident insurance policy. If you purchase a policy for today, your coverage begins as soon as payment is processed. Get covered in 90 seconds or less.
Please email us at support@buddy.insure to make any changes to your policy.
Currently, we can only offer our accident insurance to US residents.
Sure, but only accidents that occur during the policy will be covered. If you purchase a policy after you have an accident, we will not be able to pay any benefits for that accident.
See our claims page for more details.
Claims will be paid as soon as they are approved, usually within 3-7 business days.
