Hospital Indemnity insurance provides a range of fixed, lump-sum daily benefits to help cover costs associated with a hospital admission and hospital confinement. These benefits are paid directly to the insured following a hospitalization that meets the criteria for benefit payment.
Guarantee issue means you can elect coverage without having your current or past medical history taken into account nor will you have to submit an Evidence of Insurability form. Please refer to your policy for more information.
Portability allows you to continue your coverage without going through Evidence of Insurability.
