Injury Insurance
for SDMBA Members
for SDMBA Members
We've teamed up with SDMBA to protect its members from the financial costs of a bicycle related injury, from a short emergency visit to a traumatic brain injury. What is Balance? It's like a helmet for your wallet.
How does it work? Simple. Balance pays directly when you suffer a covered accident. You can use that money to pay for deductibles and expenses health insurance doesn't cover.
With plans starting at $5.95 per month for SDMBA Members, Balance offers up to $150,000 of financial protection. With Balance, you're covered.
