Group Hospital Indemnity Insurance

Depending on the coverage, hospital indemnity insurance can help alleviate financial worries from a hospitalization due to a sickness or injury. A lump-sum cash benefit is paid to the insured person to help pay for added expenses that may come while recovering.

The average overnight hospital stay runs $11,700 regardless of insurance type, so it’s not surprising that 60-65% of all bankruptcies are related to medical expenses. Health insurance may help to cover hospital bills in case of hospitalization due to a sickness or injury. But it may not cover all of the costs associated with a hospital stay, such as deductibles and co-pays, transportation, or lodging. Hospital indemnity insurance may help employees by protecting their financial wellness in this time of need.

It’s easy for your employees to sign up for hospital indemnity coverage. If they’re admitted to the hospital for a sickness or injury, they receive a lump-sum cash benefit to use any way they choose—regardless of other insurance they have.

Flexible design options allow you to tailor the hospital indemnity insurance benefits to your employees’ needs. Some examples of covered benefits include daily hospital confinement, inpatient surgery, and therapy. Customization allows you to give your employees a choice to decide what plan design meets their needs.

There are options available to design the coverage, including voluntary, employer-paid, and contributory. Employees choose who to cover and if they’re paying the premium, it will be paid through payroll deduction.
