Hospital Indemnity Insurance

Hospital Indemnity Insurance   .

Overview

If you become injured or ill and are hospitalized, your health insurance will pay a portion of your costs. But no plan pays for everything. Your share of the hospital bill with coinsurance, copays and deductibles could be costly—let alone the extra out-of-pocket expenses that might occur.

With Hospital Indemnity Insurance, you receive cash benefits for covered hospital stays and expenses to help offset the hospital bill, take care of day-to-day expenses, or pay for anything you need. Plus, this insurance offers these advantages:

  • Pays a daily benefit amount of $100/day/hospital stay for the low plan and $150/day/hospital stay for the high plan. Pays this lump sum cash benefit directly to you and is paid in addition to your medical insurance.
  • Guaranteed–issue provided you enroll during the Enrollment Period.  
  • Flexibility to use the benefit money to address out-of-pocket-expenses like transportation and meals for family members, help with child care, or time away from work.
  • Ability to keep your coverage if you leave your employer (with certain stipulations)

 

Rates can be found by clicking on the Hospital Indemnity Insurance Brochure.

  • How can this help me?

    Hospital Indemnity Insurance pays a daily benefit if you have a covered stay in a hospital, critical care unit or rehabilitation facility. The benefit amount is determined based on the type of facility and the number of days you stay. Hospital Indemnity Insurance is a limited benefit plan. It is not health insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act.


    Benefits of the plan include:

    • First Day Hospital Confinement
    • Daily Hospital Confinement
    • Hospital Intensive Care

     

    Below are a few examples of how your Hospital Indemnity Insurance benefit could be used (coverage amounts may vary):

    • Medical expenses
    • Travel, food and lodging expenses for family members
    • Child care
    • Everyday expenses like utilities and groceries

  • Who is eligible?
    You and your eligible family members must enroll during your enrollment period, and you must be actively at work for your coverage to be effective. Dependents to be enrolled may not be subject to a medical restriction as set forth on the enrollment form and in the Certificate. Some states require the insured to have medical coverage.

  • When can I enroll?
    As a new hire, you can enroll during your new hire enrollment period. Outside of your new hire enrollment period, enrollment is limited to the company’s annual enrollment period.

  • How much will this coverage cost?
    Your cost is based on several factors including your age, any special features you select, and the amount of coverage you want. Also, you may be eligible for a premium discount if you do not use tobacco. To get a free, no-obligation online quote, click the "Enroll Now" hyperlink.

  • What if my employment status changes?
    When you leave or retire from your current employer, you can continue your coverage without interruption, subject to applicable law and the policies' terms and conditions. Although payroll deduction will no longer be available if you retire or leave your company, you can opt for other payment methods such as direct checking or bank account deduction, credit card billing or home billing. Higher rates may apply.
