Hospital Indemnity Insurance
Many of the FEHB plans are considered to be good, however, they were never intended to pay 100% for your health care.
Deductibles, co-insurance and co-pays can lead to an unexpected financial burden many people do not plan.
If you were hospitalized today, would you have enough money to pay out of pocket $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 or more?
Life’s full of unexpected events. Planning ahead with supplemental insurance plans can help you feel more prepared to handle these costs.

The Difference Between Hospital Indemnity Insurance
and Health Insurance
Health insurance and Hospital Indemnity insurance serve different purposes for medical coverage. While health insurance typically provides coverage for a medical services, hospital indemnity insurance is a supplemental policy designed to provides benefits for hospital stays. This type of coverage helps to cover out-of-pocket expenses that health insurance may not fully address, such as deductibles or daily living costs. While health insurance focuses on overall medical care, hospital indemnity insurance addresses financial costs during hospitalizations. Inquire about supplemental insurance plans with our federal insurance consultants.
