How Does Hospital Indemnity Insurance Work?
Hospital indemnity insurance pays a fixed daily benefit for each day you’re hospitalized. Unlike major medical insurance, which reimburses healthcare providers, indemnity plans pay cash benefits directly to you. This flexibility allows you to use the funds as needed—for medical bills, transportation, childcare, or even rent and groceries.
Designed to complement your existing health insurance, hospital indemnity plans in Rhode Island ensure you’re prepared for the unexpected, whether it’s a short hospital stay or an extended recovery period.
