How Hospital Indemnity Insurance Works
Learn how Hospital Indemnity insurance benefits work.
1. You or your family member is admitted
Health insurance may cover many direct costs of a hospital stay, but not everything.
2. You get a check, directly
Approved claims are paid by check and sent directly to you. You can spend it on whatever you need, from medical bills to everyday expenses like child care.
3. You focus on getting better
Financial support for a hospital stay can help you focus on what matters most — getting better.
