HOSPITAL INDEMINTY PLANS
A hospital indemnity policy can provide valuable financial protection when unexpected medical events occur. Unlike traditional health insurance, which pays healthcare providers directly, a hospital indemnity policy pays cash benefits to the policyholder when they are hospitalized for a covered illness or injury.
WORKING TOGETHER
4 Reasons Hospital Indemnity Policies partner well with Medicare Advantage Plans
01
Hospital Copay
Most Medicare Advantage Plans (MA) have a significant copay per day for a hospital stay. Example copay is - $400 per day for the first 6 days while admitted.
02
Ambulance Rider
This optional rider can help reimburse costs associated with an ambulance ride. Typical copay range for an ambulance ride is $200 - $400 on the average MA plan.
03
Surgery Rider
Typical copay range for outpatient surgery is $300 - $600 on the average MA plan.
04
MRI, CT Scan Rider
This optional rider can help reimburse the costs associated with scans (MRI, CT Scan, PET Scan). Typical copays range $200 - $500 for a scan on the average MA plan.
A Hospital Indemnity Plan pairs well with a Medicare Advantage plan by giving the policyholder the option of being made whole when an unexpected, covered sickness, injury or hospitalization occurs. These plans can increase your preparedness for when/if an unforeseen hospitalization happens.
Hospital indemnity coverage is especially beneficial for individuals with high-deductible health plans, as it can help bridge the gap between medical costs and available savings.
It also provides flexibility since the benefit payments can typically be used however the policyholder chooses. Expenses such as deductibles, copays, transportation costs, childcare, or even everyday household bills that continue while you recover.
By supplementing existing health coverage, a hospital indemnity policy can offer greater peace of mind and financial stability, helping families focus on recovery rather than unexpected expenses.
