About Spot
Medical bills suck….so we did something about it. The Spot Team is passionate about changing the industry and how insurance is distributed, gone are the days of Go-Fund-Me’s or going into debt after an injury.
Spot is the first-of-its-kind injury insurance that pushes our customers to get out and live more, whether they’re running their daily errands or on a once in a lifetime adventure with the family. Perfect for people who have active lifestyles, lousy health insurance or no health insurance at all, we earnestly believe breaking a bone shouldn’t break the bank.
