Hospital Indemnity Insurance:
Get Extra Financial Support When You Need It
Hospital stays are costly and may not be covered by your other insurance. Plus, they can occur at any time, and out-of-pocket costs like rehabilitation, deductibles, copayments, and transportation can quickly add up.
Did you know? The average expense during a hospital stay is around $11,000, including the transportation and medication costs. Consider a supplemental plan meant to pay for the costs of a hospital admission that your other insurance may not cover.
What Is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity insurance, also called hospital confinement insurance, is supplemental medical coverage that pays benefits if you’re hospitalized. Like Medicare, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and it’s available even for small companies. Hospital indemnity plans can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs during a critical time.

What Benefits Are Offered?
These plans may offer fixed benefits for:
- Admission to the hospital/daily confinement
- An overnight stay, and
- Each overnight stay in an intensive care unit
Hospital indemnity policies may contain other kinds of benefits, like:
- Treatment in an emergency room
- Certain outpatient procedures
Some policies may even pay a benefit for certain diseases or accidents, but people typically buy separate, specialized indemnity policies (critical illness, cancer, or accident) to get more stable benefit amounts.
You’re in Control
The plan directly gives the policyholder a lump-sum amount after a hospital stay to cover the hospitalization and all related costs. With Hospital Indemnity Insurance, you’re in control of the money. You can use the provided amount to pay your health plan deductibles, prescription costs, or other expenses like rent payments, mortgages, groceries, etc.
What to Consider
When considering whether you need hospital indemnity insurance, you’ll want to weigh the potential benefits with what it will cost you. Specifically, you should consider:
- Your health: How likely is it that you or a family member will be hospitalized?
- Your ability to cover unexpected costs: Do you have emergency funds in place?
- How comprehensive your private or employer-provided insurance is: In the event of a hospital stay, what gaps in coverage may be leftover?
- The cost of the hospital indemnity policy over time: How much will you pay in premiums in one year or ten years vs. potential benefits you might get?
