FAQs
What are hospital indemnity/coverage plans?
Hospital indemnity plans are a type of supplemental insurance that pays a set cash benefit directly to the insured for specific hospital-related events, such as inpatient stays or surgeries. These benefits are predefined and are issued irrespective of the actual hospital costs, offering a buffer against out-of-pocket expenses not covered by primary health insurance, like deductibles and co-pays. These plans provide financial flexibility, allowing beneficiaries to use the cash for medical bills or other needs. Designed to complement, not replace, primary health coverage, they offer an added layer of financial protection without network restrictions, often at a more affordable premium.
Can Secure Advantage Flex help cover my out-of-pocket expenses?
