Hospital Indemnity Insurance
Support when you’re admitted. Flexibility when you need it most.
Even with Medicare or a comprehensive health plan, a hospital stay can come with unexpected costs. Hospital indemnity insurance is a supplemental policy that provides cash benefits when you’re admitted—helping you cover expenses your main insurance doesn’t.
At BCI Insured, we offer
free, independent advice to help you understand how these plans work and whether they make sense for your situation.
What Is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity insurance pays a
fixed, lump-sum benefit when you’re admitted to the hospital. That benefit can be used however you choose—for example:
Covering deductibles or copays
Paying for transportation, lodging, or meals
Covering time off work or lost income
Helping with child care or household bills
Supplementing Medicare Advantage or ACA plans
Benefit amounts and features vary by plan. We’ll help you understand what each policy offers, so you’re not left guessing.
Why Consider Hospital Indemnity Coverage?
People often consider hospital indemnity insurance if:
They’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan with copays for hospital stays
They have a high-deductible health plan that leaves them exposed
They want cash benefits paid directly to them, not their providers
They want added peace of mind for the unexpected
This coverage isn’t meant to replace your main plan—it’s there to
help reduce your out-of-pocket burden during a hospital stay.
Who Is This Coverage For?
- Medicare beneficiaries, especially those with Advantage plans
- Individuals and families on ACA plans with high deductibles
- Adults concerned about financial gaps during hospitalization
- People who want to protect savings and avoid surprise bills
- Anyone looking for a simple way to enhance existing coverage
We’ll help you determine whether this policy complements your current plan and show you how to apply without hassle.

FAQs About Hospital Indemnity Insurance
Does Medicare cover all hospital costs?
Not always. Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare often come with copays, coinsurance, or deductibles for inpatient stays. Hospital indemnity insurance can help cover those gaps.
Can I use the benefit for non-medical expenses?
Yes. These policies pay you directly, so you can use the funds however you choose—whether for bills, groceries, or anything else during your recovery.
Is this insurance expensive?
Policies are often affordable, depending on your age and benefit level. We can walk you through pricing with no pressure.
Is this the same as long-term care insurance?
No. Hospital indemnity policies cover short-term hospital stays, not extended care in nursing facilities or assisted living.
