Hospital Insurance

Focus on recovery — not finances

It’s no secret that hospital bills can set a family back financially. When you or covered loved ones are admitted to a hospital, Hospital Insurance can provide a lump-sum payment to help you cover the expenses that often follow.

Extra help for unexpected expenses

Reduce the financial strain of a hospital stay

When you need a trip to the hospital, the last thing you want to be thinking about is how it’ll impact your finances. Unfortunately, the reality is that even with major medical insurance, you may still be responsible for co-payments, deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs.

Our Hospital Insurance helps protect your finances when there’s an emergency. When you or a covered family member is admitted to the hospital, these policies can pay a benefit directly to you to use as you see fit, whether to cover immediate medical costs and travel expenses, or to help keep the bills covered at home. Whether you’re being treated on an inpatient or outpatient basis, this coverage can help you manage your expenses during a stressful time.
