Hospital Indemnity Insurance pays a daily benefit if you have a covered stay in a hospital, critical care unit or rehabilitation facility. The benefit amount is determined based on the type of facility and the number of days you stay. Hospital Indemnity Insurance is a limited benefit policy. It is not health insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

Features of Hospital Indemnity Insurance include:

• Flexibility: You can use the benefit money for any purpose you like
• Payroll deductions: Premiums paid through convenient payroll deductions
• Affordable coverage: Rates are typically lower when you purchase coverage through your employer
• Portable: Should you leave your current employer or retire, you can take the policy with you and select from a variety of payment plans

Below are a few examples of how your Hospital Indemnity Insurance benefit could be used (coverage amounts may vary):

• Medical expenses, such as deductibles and copays
• Travel, food and lodging expenses for family members
• Child care
• Everyday expenses like utilities and groceries

• You—must meet actively-at-work definition
• Your spouse/domestic partner*
• Your child(ren)— to age 26. Coverage is available only if Employee coverage is elected

*The use of “spouse” in this document means a person insured as a spouse as described in the certificate of insurance or rider. This may include domestic partners or civil union partners as defined by the group policy. Please contact your employer for more information.
