If you become injured or ill and are hospitalized, your health insurance will pay a portion of your medical costs. But no plan pays for everything. Your share of the hospital bill with coinsurance, copays and deductibles could be costly—let alone the extra out-of-pocket expenses that might occur.
Hospital Indemnity Insurance pays a fixed daily benefit if you have a covered stay in a hospital, critical care unit, or rehabilitation facility on or after your coverage effective date.* The benefit amount is determined based on the type of facility and the number of days you stay.
The following list is a summary of the benefits provided by Hospital Indemnity Insurance. For a complete description of your available benefits, exclusions and limitations, see your certificate of insurance and any riders.
Hospital Indemnity Insurance is a limited benefit policy. It is not health insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
