Hospital Indemnity Plans

Hospital indemnity insurance helps cut hospital expenses, especially for Medicare beneficiaries. When selecting a plan, you choose a daily cash amount and benefit periods. Plans with more benefits are pricier but offer customization options. The cash benefit can be used for medical costs like copayments or deductibles, as well as non-medical expenses like rent or utilities.

With Indemnity policies, you can choose to see whichever specialists and doctors you like, without referrals.

Indemnity plans will need you to pay for your health care services upfront. You’ll then submit a claim to your insurance company and get a reimbursement.

Here are some key points about Medicare hospital indemnity plans:

Some of the most popular indemnity benefits generally include:

• Your hospital Admission for the first five days
