What is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital Indemnity Insurance pays a daily benefit if you have a covered stay in a hospital*, critical care unit** or rehabilitation facility**, on or after your coverage effective date. The benefit amount is determined based on the type of facility and the number of days you stay. This is a limited benefit policy. Hospital Indemnity Insurance is not health insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
How can Hospital Indemnity Insurance help?
You can use the benefit however you would like. While coverage amounts may vary, below are a few examples of how you could use your benefit:
Why should I enroll through my employer?
Premium amounts are deducted from your paychecks, so you don’t have to worry about paying another bill.
Can I purchase coverage for my spouse and child?
Coverage is available for your eligible spouse and your eligible children up to age 26* as defined in the certificate of insurance and riders, if employee coverage is elected.
How much does it cost?
The cost of Hospital Indemnity Insurance varies. Please refer to your enrollment materials or contact your employer.
Do I need to provide health information when I apply?
No. There are no medical questions you need to answer or medical tests to take in order to get coverage. Pre-existing condition limitations may apply.
If an employee’s spouse and/or child also works at the company and is covered as an employee, are they also eligible for coverage under the Spouse and/or Child Rider?
No. If your spouse is covered under the policy as an employee, then your spouse is not eligible for coverage under the Spouse rider. Likewise, if your child is covered under the policy as an employee, then your child is not eligible for child coverage under the Child Rider.
See the certificate and any riders for a complete description of benefits, exclusions and limitations.

Pat had only thought they were dealing with a common cold, but when they couldn’t catch their breath and went to the ER, they learned they had pneumonia and had to be admitted to the hospital. Fortunately, Pat had Hospital Indemnity Insurance through their employer and the benefit they received from this coverage helped pay their out-of-pocket medical deductibles and co-pays.
