Even with medical insurance, hospital stays can be costly. You may have copays, deductibles, and other incidental hospital charges that add up. That’s why you can buy extra insurance through hospital indemnity coverage.

Hospital indemnity insurance pays you a single lump-sum benefit in the event you or a family member covered under this plan is hospitalized. The benefit is based on the type of hospital stay.
