Hospital indemnity insurance

A financial safety net for the unexpected

Injuries, illnesses and childbirth can land employees in the hospital for a night or two. And even with a major medical plan, they can face out-of-pocket costs from copay, coinsurance or deductible requirements. Symetra hospital indemnity insurance offers 24/7 coverage for inpatient hospital stays to help close some of these coverage gaps.

Clients choose their plan’s per-day benefit amounts, who is eligible, and how much to contribute to the premium, if at all. They can also enhance their plan with a variety of optional benefitst to meet their coverage goals.
