Why would someone consider this coverage?
A Medicare Advantage plan may still have hospital copays or other cost sharing. Supplemental hospital coverage may be designed to provide a fixed benefit when a covered hospital event occurs. Cancer coverage may provide specified benefits for covered cancer-related events or treatment.
What can the benefit help with?
Depending on the policy, cash benefits can give you extra financial flexibility while you are dealing with a covered event. The exact benefits, eligibility rules, waiting periods, exclusions and limitations depend on the policy.
This is supplemental coverage
Hospital indemnity and cancer policies are not Medicare, Medicare Supplement (Medigap), or comprehensive health insurance. They pay only according to the policy's covered events and benefit schedule.
