Frequently Asked Hospital Indemnity Questions
Hospital Indemnity is a form of private insurance that pays the policyholder if they are admitted into the hospital, intensive care unit (ICU), critical care unit (CCU) or another qualifying health event.
Depending on your policy, a Hospital Indemnity insurance plan provides a payout if you’re admitted to the hospital. Unlike regular health insurance, which has restrictions on how the insurance money can be used, Hospital Indemnity payouts can be used any way the policyholder seems fit.
For example, you can use the payout to help offset any out-of-pocket expenses not covered by your insurance. You can also use the money to help pay for groceries, transportation or other living expenses.
No. Hospital Indemnity Insurance is not a replacement for any form of Medicare, Medicaid or private health insurance. This plan is intended as a supplemental coverage policy.
Like any insurance plan, you will be required to pay a monthly premium, which can vary depending on the policy you choose. However, you do not have to pay a deductible to gain access to your payment.
Unlike a typical health insurance policy, Hospital Indemnity does not have deductibles, coinsurance or network restrictions.
If you’re someone who foresees being frequently admitted to the hospital or wants peace of mind in the event of an accident, then Hospital Indemnity Insurance is worth considering.
