Even with a great Medicare Advantage or health insurance plan, hospital stays can still leave you with unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. That's where Hospital Indemnity Insurance comes in. A simple, affordable way to financially protect yourself and your family when life throws a curveball.

What is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital Indemnity Insurance is a supplemental insurance policy that directly provides cash benefits if you are admitted to a hospital. Depending on your plan, these benefits are paid out per day, per admission, or in lump sums, and you can use the money however you need it.
This coverage is especially helpful for people on Medicare Advantage plans, which often have copays or daily costs for hospital stays that can quickly add up.
What Does Hospital Indemnity Insurance Cover?
While coverage varies by provider and plan, most Hospital Indemnity policies help cover:
Hospital admission and daily inpatient stays
Observation stays
Ambulance services
Skilled nursing facility costs
Specific outpatient procedures or surgeries
And more, depending on your selected benefits
Key Benefits of Hospital Indemnity Insurance
Pays You Directly: You receive cash benefits that you can use for any purpose - medical bills, travel, household expenses, or lost income.
No Network Restrictions: it works with any hospital or provider, regardless of your primary insurance.
Affordable Monthly Premiums: Plans are typically very affordable, especially when enrolled early.
Customizable Coverage: Choose benefit levels based on your budget and expected needs.
Is Hospital Indemnity Right For You?
If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, Hospital Indemnity is an excellent complement to enhance your benefits. It can help cover copays and coinsurance for hospital stays. Additionally, it's a smart option for:
Seniors on a fixed income
Anyone with a history of hospitalizations
Those without large savings to cover unexpected costs
Even one hospital visit can result in hundreds or thousands of out-of-pocket costs. Hospital Indemnity Insurance provides peace of mind so you are not caught off guard.
