FAQ

1. When can I enroll in healthCAR?

You may enroll in healthCAR during your open enrollment period or during any special enrollment period offered by your employer or benefits provider. You also qualify for enrollment in the event you replace a covered vehicle, buy a new vehicle, or other qualifying life event such as marriage. All vehicles you own may be protected, subject to vehicle guidelines.

2. Can I enroll multiple vehicles?

You may enroll any eligible vehicle you own. A separate contract will be issued for each vehicle.

3. What is an automobile extended service contract/policy?

An automobile extended service contract provides coverage for sudden and accidental mechanical breakdowns of your vehicle. These contracts provide coverage beyond the expiration of your manufacturer’s warranty on new, used and high mileage vehicles.

4. Is the healthCAR program insured?

Marathon Group’s healthCAR program is fully insured by an “A” rated (Excellent) insurance company by A.M. Best.

5. Can I cancel my healthCAR plan at any time?

You may cancel your healthCAR protection at any time by notifying the Administrator in writing, indicating the effective date of cancellation. Upon cancellation, you may be eligible for a refund equal to the pro-rated portion of your monthly fee. Your protection will be cancelled by the
Administrator if the appropriate fee is not paid each month. The cancelled vehicle is then not eligible for healthCAR until the next open enrollment period.

6. If I cancel my healthCAR coverage during the year can I rejoin prior to the next Enrollment period??

Unfortunately, you can only enroll in healthCAR during your annual benefit enrollment window or during any special enrollment offered by your employer or benefit provider. You may also qualify for enrollment in the event you replace the previously covered vehicle or other qualifying life event such as marriage. You can however, enroll additional vehicles that you acquire, within 30 days of purchase or lease during the year.

7. What if I experience a breakdown?

In the unfortunate event you experience a mechanical breakdown on a covered vehicle, you may take your vehicle to any licensed repair facility nationwide to diagnose the failure. If you need assistance, you may contact the Administrator for a list of preferred repair facilities near you. If your vehicle is not drivable, call our Roadside Assistance provider for a tow 24/7/365. You should immediately have the repair facility contact the Administrator to initiate a claim prior to repairing. Upon determining the cause of failure and the repairs necessary, the repair facility must obtain an authorization number from the Administrator to submit completed repairs for payment. In the event you are traveling to work and experience a breakdown, simply call our roadside assistance number and a tow truck will be dispatched to take your vehicle to one of our approved repair facilities or a facility of your choosing. Rideshare services and rental vehicles will be made available as necessary, to ensure you arrive to work.
