Individual Voluntary Benefits
Hospital Indemnity Insurance
|
Recently, co-insurance minimums and out-of-pocket deductibles have surged. This has forced employers (and subsequently, their employees) to seek voluntary supplemental products. A hospital Indemnity product can be part of a long-term solution.
Even those people with regular medical insurance may have trouble meeting the unexpectedly high costs that often accompany hospitalization. There may be expensive deductibles and other initial out-of-pocket expenses to pay before contributions from regular medical coverage begin. These charges can add up quickly, particularly in the face of a serious or lengthy medical condition. A hospital Indemnity policy can help cover deductibles, co-insurance and other expenses for hospital stays.
