What to Know About Hospital Indemnity Insurance

As a professional in the medical field, you know a lot about how hospitalization can put a heavy financial burden on a family or person.

You probably have good health insurance, but even the best health insurance policy won’t cover everything and if it so happens that you’re unable to work a hospital indemnity insurance policy is an easy, affordable way to get money while you or a family member is in the hospital.

A hospital indemnity insurance policy allows the policyholder to claim a certain dollar amount each day they are in the hospital, up to the limits of the plan.

This type of hospital insurance is beneficial to any and every medical professional and is especially good for families, as children do become ill or injured and the hospitalization stay can be 4 days or longer.

What’s important to know is that hospital indemnity insurance plans are not health care plans.

Hospital indemnity insurance policies are designed to make your health insurance better, and that is exactly what they do.

Hospital Insurance Key Benefits:

1. Affordability. A hospital indemnity insurance plan offers great coverage at a reasonably small cost. Hospital insurance is supplemental insurance that benefits that policyholders by triggering payment during hospital stays. For cost-effectiveness, hospital indemnity insurance gets top marks.

2. The payout. Under a hospital indemnity policy, you’re entitled to cash payouts. This supplemental insurance program lets you put the payout to deductibles or anything else you want such as co-pays or even non-related expenses. That’s because hospital indemnity insurance benefits aren’t contingent upon a service, rather an occurrence of events, such as being hospitalized.

3. Easy add-ons. Expanding a hospital insurance plan is neither complex nor expensive and can include such things as ambulance trips, surgery while pregnant, long term conditions like cancer or stroke.

4. Flexibility. Payouts from a hospital insurance plan can be divided out in lump sums or spread out over a longer period.
