See how much you'd receive — real benefits from Washington National (H4)
Hospital indemnity pays a fixed daily cash benefit for every day you're confined to a hospital — regardless of the reason. Accident, illness, planned surgery — it doesn't matter. The cash is paid directly to you, not the hospital. Use it for copays, deductibles, lost income, childcare, mortgage, or anything else while you recover.
You choose your daily benefit at enrollment: $100 to $1,100/day for hospital, $200 to $1,500/day for ICU. A 5-day hospital stay at $500/day = $2,500 cash. A 3-day ICU stay at $1,000/day = $3,000 cash. Benefits are paid per confinement with no annual or lifetime maximum on the number of stays.
Health insurance covers hospital bills. Hospital indemnity covers everything health insurance doesn't — your deductible ($1,763 average in MD), copays, out-of-network charges, transportation, childcare, and lost wages. The average hospital stay in MD is 5.2 days. Even with health insurance, out-of-pocket costs average $1,200-$3,500 per stay.
Optional riders add skilled nursing facility benefits ($50-$550/day for up to 14 days after a 7-day elimination period) and outpatient surgery benefits ($50-$550 per procedure, one per year). The wellness visit rider pays $75/year for preventative care — a benefit that pays even if you're never hospitalized.
Anyone with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), an HSA, or Medicare. If your health insurance deductible is $1,000+, hospital indemnity fills the gap from day one. It's also ideal for self-employed workers who lose income during hospital stays, and families where one hospitalization could create a financial emergency.
