This innovative policy is a unique blend, combining traditional Occupational Accident Insurance coverages—such as Medical, Disability, and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D)—with essential Travel Insurance benefits. These benefits include coverage for non-work-related Emergency Medical Conditions, Medical Evacuation, and Repatriation. By addressing the unique needs of B-1 Visa Truck Drivers who lose their Mexican Social Security Institute (MSSI) coverage when crossing into the U.S., this comprehensive policy provides critical protection for both the drivers and U.S.-based Motor Carriers.

KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES

The new insurance policy offers the following advantages:

  • Comprehensive Coverage: Ensures drivers are protected from a range of risks, including work-related accidents and non-work-related medical emergencies.
  • Affordability: Monthly rates start at $44 per person, with pricing varying by class of trucking operation, benefits, and limits elected.
  • Ease of Administration: Driver enrollment and deletions are seamlessly managed online using the Contractors Benefits Administration (CBA) platform.

FOR INSURANCE AGENTS

This new product presents a significant opportunity for Insurance Agents, particularly those specializing in cross-border insurance. By offering a solution that fills a critical gap in the market, agents can:

  • Provide clients with a much-needed safety net for Mexican B-1 Visa Truck Drivers.
  • Help shield U.S.-based Motor Carriers from potential claims related to Workers Compensation and other benefits.
  • Enhance their portfolio with a product that addresses a pressing market need.

“We are thrilled to introduce this new insurance policy, which not only protects Mexican B-1 Visa Truck Drivers but also provides crucial safeguards for U.S.-based Motor Carriers,” said James M. Obregon, President of Workforce Insurance

Underwriters. “This product is a game-changer for the industry, offering unparalleled coverage and peace of mind.” Insurance Agents interested in learning more about this new policy and how it can benefit their clients are encouraged to visit our website at www.workforceins.com or contact us directly for more information.
