Hospital Indemnity / Cancer & Critical Illness
Fixed hospital benefits plus lump-sum cash on a covered diagnosis
Overview
This category combines three powerful supplemental coverages. Hospital indemnity plans pay a fixed daily cash benefit for each day you are hospitalized. Cancer insurance pays benefits upon a covered cancer diagnosis and during treatment. Critical illness insurance pays a lump-sum benefit upon diagnosis of a covered condition such as heart attack or stroke — all paid directly to you.
How It Works
Hospital indemnity: upon admission, the plan pays a fixed daily benefit (e.g., $200/day) for each covered day. Cancer: after a covered diagnosis, benefits are paid for treatment including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Critical illness: a lump-sum benefit is paid upon diagnosis of a covered condition — use it for any expense.
