What is it? Hospital Indemnity Insurance pays benefits to help employees and their families meet the costs of a covered hospital stay. Why do employees need it? No matter what a medical plan covers, hospital stays carry a hefty price tag. For a predictable premium, employees can reduce the financial impact of a hospital stay. How does it work? Pre-defined benefit amounts are paid directly to employees when they have a covered hospital stay, regardless of the actual costs incurred. Unum’s Group Hospital Indemnity includes a range of plan designs and options flexible enough to supplement virtually any medical plan.
