What Does a Hospital Indemnity Plan Cover?

Daily Hospital Confinement
Receive a fixed dollar amount per day you're in the hospital—often up to 10, 20, or 30 days.
ICU or Critical Care Unit Benefits
Get additional payouts for stays in an intensive care unit or cardiac unit.
Surgery & Outpatient Procedure Coverage
Some plans offer lump sums for outpatient surgeries or emergency room visits.
Observation Stay Benefits
If you're kept under observation but not formally admitted, certain plans still provide partial benefits.
Optional Riders
You can enhance your plan with riders that cover skilled nursing, cancer treatment, ambulance transport, or rehabilitation.
What Is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity insurance pays cash benefits directly to you when you're admitted to a hospital or undergo specific medical procedures. These benefits are separate from any other health insurance you may have and can be used however you choose.
Common Uses of Hospital Indemnity Payouts
- Pay deductibles, coinsurance, and copays
- Cover lost income during recovery
- Handle household expenses or childcare while you’re hospitalized
- Pay for transportation, lodging, or meals for out-of-town treatment
- Supplement Medicare Advantage or high-deductible health plans
It’s designed to fill in the financial gaps that traditional health insurance doesn’t cover.

FAQs About Hospital Indemnity Insurance
Does Medicare cover all hospital costs?
No. Medicare Part A covers much of your inpatient care, but you’re still responsible for deductibles, daily copays, and other expenses. Hospital indemnity helps cover those gaps.
Can I use the cash benefits however I want?
Yes. Hospital indemnity pays you directly, so you can use the money however you need—medical bills, rent, groceries, or anything else.
Is there a waiting period?
Most plans offer immediate coverage for accidental injuries, with a short waiting period (often 30 days) for illnesses.
Is this expensive?
Not at all. Premiums are usually affordable, especially when compared to the high cost of hospitalization. We’ll help you find the right value for your needs.
