Hospital Indemnity Case Study

Hospital Indemnity Insurance

While high deductible health plans may make health coverage more affordable for employer and employees, they may greatly increase an employee’s out-of-pocket expenses if a serious illness or accident occurs. The Kemper Health Hospital Indemnity insurance policy complements a group’s existing major medical coverage while helping ease the financial impact of hospitalization.

The Kemper Health Hospital Indemnity policy offers valuable benefits for employees and their covered dependents, including:

  • A fixed daily benefit for hospital stays, regardless of hospital fees.
  • Benefits paid directly to the insured, in addition to any other insurance.
  • No health questions or pre-existing limitations.
  • Coverage for multiple confinements available.
