What Is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity insurance is a type of supplemental insurance that provides cash benefits for each day you’re hospitalized. These payments can be used however you choose—whether for medical costs, household bills, or other necessities.
Unlike major medical insurance, which focuses on covering a percentage of your medical bills, hospital indemnity insurance offers a set cash amount per day or service. This predictable payout can be a lifesaver when dealing with the unexpected expenses of a hospital stay.
How Hospital Indemnity Insurance Works
Here’s how it works: You enroll in a plan that offers a fixed indemnity benefit for hospital stays. If you are hospitalized, you file a claim with your insurer, and they provide the agreed-upon daily cash benefit. For instance, if your plan offers $200 per day and you are in the hospital for five days, you’ll receive $1,000 to use as needed.
