What Is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity insurance is supplemental coverage designed to pay cash benefits for covered hospital-related events (policy rules apply). It can help reduce the financial strain of admissions, stays, and related services—especially when your health plan leaves you with deductibles and copays. Benefits and payout structure vary by carrier and plan design.
