  • Travel, food and lodging expenses for family members
  • Child care
  • Everyday expenses like utilities and groceries

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.

*Standard ages may vary.

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 conditions 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.


Additionally, if both you and your spouse or domestic partner are covered under the policy as an employee, then only one of you may cover your children. If the parent who is covering the children stops being insured as an employee, then the other parent may enroll for children coverage.
