Hospital Indemnity Plans and Other Supplemental Coverage
While Medicare covers a good amount of hospital expenses it won’t cover everything. Some beneficiaries look for additional coverage with a reasonable monthly premium to save on those out-of-pocket costs. Hospital Indemnity Insurance, also known as Hospitalization Insurance, is like your financial guardian angel when you find yourself admitted to a hospital. Think of it as an added layer of protection beyond Medicare, offering a fixed cash benefit for each day you spend in the hospital or even a lump sum payout – your choice.
How does it work?
Using Hospital Indemnity coverage is a breeze. You're not tied to specific doctors or specialists, and there's no need for referrals. The process is simple: you pay for your healthcare services upfront, submit a claim to your insurance company, and get a reimbursement. You choose the cash benefit that suits your needs. Use it to cover medical expenses, or if you need it for rent or utilities, go ahead and do that too. Hospital Indemnity Insurance has your back at different stages – before, during, and after your hospital stay, even if you're undergoing outpatient treatment. It's like a financial safety net that keeps you covered.
Medigap + Hospital Indemnity
Even if you're already covered by a Medigap policy, especially a high deductible plan, Hospital Indemnity Insurance can add an extra layer of protection, especially during extended hospital stays. Even if you don’t have a high deductible, when you pair Hospital Indemnity Insurance with Medigap, you're maximizing your benefits. Medigap handles medical copays and deductibles, while Hospital Indemnity steps in to cover other costs like household expenses that crop up while you're in the hospital.
Medicare Advantage + Hospital Indemnity
Hospital Indemnity Insurance isn't about replacing your Medicare Advantage plan; it's about enhancing it. This supplementary coverage provides you with cash benefits that can be tailored to your specific needs. By selecting a benefit amount to cover your inpatient copays, and maybe a little extra too, these benefits can help alleviate the financial burden of copayments, deductibles, and other unexpected medical costs that might arise during a hospital stay.

You're enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and have copays for inpatient hospital stays.
