Hospital Indemnity
Complements Health Insurance
You can help employees prepare for the unexpected costs that can come with a hospital stay.
Being in the hospital may leave employees with expenses their medical plans don't cover. Group Hospital Indemnity insurance pays cash benefits to employees who've been hospitalized.
Employees Decide
Employees can use the money for whatever they need during treatment or recovery. They can pay for medical expenses like copays and deductibles, or put the money toward living costs like utilities, groceries and child care.
How Hospital Indemnity Insurance Works
| 1 Your employee is admitted to the hospital. | 2 We send them a check. | 3 They focus on recovering. |
| Their health insurance covers many costs of their stay and treatment. But your employee still has a lot of expenses, including deductibles, copays and other costs they couldn't predict. | With approval of the claim, The Standard will pay benefits directly to your employee. Then they decide how to spend the money. | With The Standard helping to cover their out-of-pocket or everyday expenses, your employee can focus on what matters most — their health. |
