Hospital Indemnity Insurance
A hospital stay can be traumatic — to your health, wallet, and family. Even if you have other medical insurance, some costs won’t be covered. That’s when a Hospital Indemnity insurance plan can provide peace of mind by offering customized protection that pays benefits in your time of need.
What Hospital Indemnity insurance is. Hospitalization is expensive on its own, but it’s easy to overlook the additional costs you can incur while you’re hospitalized. Deductibles and co-pays will start piling up, and you may require follow-up outpatient care or a stay in a nursing facility. That’s where Hospital Indemnity insurance fills in the gaps in a way other insurance plans don’t. You receive your benefit directly, and you may use the payment however you want — from deductibles to travel and lodging expenses. Why you need Hospital Indemnity insurance. Health insurance and Medicare cover some costs associated with a hospital stay, but not all of them. In other words, hospital insurance acts as a supplemental plan to your existing primary insurance coverage to ensure you’re not dipping into your savings account or retirement income to pay for your hospitalization. Depending on the coverage in your state, plans may pay ancillary costs, such as recovery care, ambulance transport, urgent care, chiropractic care, and travel and lodging expenses, if you require care at a hospital that is not close to where you live. Finally, understand what is not included under the plan. Non-medically necessary hospital stays, such as cosmetic procedures, or injuries from engaging in high-risk behaviors, like skydiving, are usually not covered.
