Hospital Daily Benefits Plan

Protect you and your family against the hardship of unpaid expenses for every day of confinement in the event you are hospitalized due to an accident or illness.

Our Hospital Daily Benefits Plan is available to members ages 18 to 63 and benefits start on the very FIRST DAY of your hospitalization. Other plans may not cover all expenses for a confinement in a hospital, skilled nursing facility, intensive care unit or for licensed home health care, leaving you with unpaid deductibles, co-payments and other unexpected charges. The Hospital Daily Benefits Plan can help fill the gap between the total cost of a hospital stay and any benefits you may receive from other coverage.

Pays you up to $100.00 a day for every day you are confined in a hospital for a covered injury or sickness. (1)

  • No limit on the number of days.
