Hospital Care (Indemnity) Insurance
Additional coverage to help with the costs of a hospital stay.
A hospital stay can be expensive, and it can happen at any time. Help your employees focus on getting better, and worry less about hospital bills. Even with medical coverage, out-of-pocket expenses such as rehabilitation, transportation and childcare can quickly add up. Supplemental health benefits such as Cigna Hospital Care can offer a cost-effective solution to provide the additional coverage employees and their families need to bounce back from a health setback so they can be whole again – body, mind and wallet.
How it Works for your Employees
- Pays a fixed benefit to the covered person for hospital stays resulting from a covered injury or illness. The money can be used as the individual chooses. Benefits may be paid directly to the hospital upon assignment.1
- No restrictions on how the money can be used. Coverage continues after the first covered hospitalization – helping provide additional protection for future hospital stays.
- Supplements your medical plan – Benefits are separate from medical plan, do not coordinate, and are paid directly to you.
- Cost-effective coverage. Benefits are employee-paid and employees sign up at economical group rates – so they typically pay less for coverage than if they tried to purchase coverage individually.
- Maximize employee benefit payments with Cigna Simple File®.
Auto compare* – For customers who also have Cigna’s medical coverage, we carefully review Cigna medical claims and remind customers to submit their eligible accidental injury, critical illness, or hospital care (indemnity) claim.
Auto claim* – For customers who also have Cigna's disability, life and/or accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage – we'll automatically file their eligible accidental injury, critical illness, or hospital care (indemnity) claim so they can focus on their health. - Convenience. No copays, deductibles, coinsurance restrictions or network requirements to worry about and premiums are deducted from employee paychecks.
- Benefits are portable. Employees can keep their coverage if they leave their employer.2
