What to Know
Example
Chris has complications from his diabetes which resulted in a two-day hospital stay. During that time, he was off work, and his spouse also took time off, too. He had out-of-pocket expenses including medical services, parking, and meals. Hospital indemnity insurance provided cash benefits to help cover these costs.
