Hospital Care Coverage

Hospital Care Coverage  

Overview

Hospital Care insurance can complement your health insurance to help you pay for the costs associated with a hospital stay. It can also provide funds for the out-of-pocket expenses your medical plan may not cover, such as co-insurance, co-pays and deductibles.

 

How does it work?
This insurance pays a benefit when you are admitted to the hospital for a covered accident or sickness.

 

You may receive a benefit for the following:

  • Covered hospital admission
  • Each day of your covered hospital stay
  • Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay
  • Hospital observation stay

 

Advantages of the plan

  • You can buy coverage for your spouse and dependent children
  • For active salaried employees this plan includes convenient payroll deduction, so you don’t have to remember to write a check for your premiums
  • Coverage is portable. You may take the coverage with you if you leave the company or retire without having to answer new health questions
