Hospital Indemnity Insurance in North Carolina: A Comprehensive Guide
What Is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity insurance is a type of supplemental health insurance that provides fixed cash benefits for hospital stays. Unlike major medical insurance, which covers a percentage of your medical bills, hospital indemnity insurance gives you a direct cash payout to use as needed. This means you can cover deductibles, co-pays, transportation, childcare, or even everyday bills.
