Hospital Indemnity Insurance

What is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?

Hospital Indemnity Insurance is a supplemental benefit designed to provide financial support if you are admitted to the hospital due to an illness or injury. While your primary health insurance helps cover medical costs, it often leaves you responsible for deductibles, copays, and other out-of-pocket expenses. Hospital Indemnity Insurance pays cash benefits directly to you, which you can use however you need—whether for medical bills, transportation, child care, or everyday living expenses.

Hospital Indemnity Insurance: Extra Protection When You Need It Most

An unexpected illness or injury can lead to a hospital stay—sometimes just overnight, sometimes for several days. When that happens, out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, copays, and coinsurance can add up quickly. On top of that, non-medical expenses such as child care, transportation, or household help can create additional financial strain.

Hospital Indemnity Insurance helps ease that burden by providing cash benefits paid directly to you, giving you the flexibility to use the funds however you need—medical or non-medical.
