A hospital stay on Medicare Advantage can still leave you with daily copays that add up quickly. A hospital indemnity plan pays you cash to help cover those costs, so a few nights in the hospital does not turn into a big bill.
Medicare Advantage plans keep premiums low by sharing costs with you when you actually use care. A hospital stay often comes with a daily copay for the first several days, plus copays for surgery, skilled nursing, and other services. If you are admitted, those daily charges can reach well over a thousand dollars before your plan limit kicks in.
A hospital indemnity plan pays a fixed cash benefit directly to you for each day you are in the hospital. You can use that money for the copays, for everyday bills while you recover, or for anything else.
Pick a daily amount and the number of days covered. The plan pays that cash if you are admitted.
The benefit goes to you, not the hospital, so you decide how to use it.
Many plans let you add benefits for skilled nursing, ambulance, surgery, or observation stays.
