Hospital Indemnity

Hospital indemnity insurance is a supplemental insurance policy designed to help cover the out-of-pocket costs associated with a hospital stay. While traditional health insurance may cover a portion of your hospital expenses, it often leaves you responsible for copayments, deductibles, and other costs. Hospital indemnity insurance provides a cash benefit to help with these expenses, giving you financial support during a hospital stay due to illness or injury.

This type of coverage is paid directly to you and can be used however you choose whether it’s for medical bills, household expenses, or other financial obligations. Hospital indemnity insurance offers peace of mind by helping to bridge the gap between your health insurance and the actual costs of hospitalization.
