How Hospital Indemnity helps before, during, and after hospital stays

Hospital Indemnity insurance helps you protect your finances in the event you need to be hospitalized. Optional add-on riders also help you customize your plan for your needs to prioritize care before, during, or after a hospital stay.

As you age, you’re more likely to need extended care services. Both Short-term Care and Long-term Care insurance are types of health insurance for extended care services, but they don’t fulfill the same needs.

Why seniors need dental, vision, and hearing insurance

Most health insurance plans for older adults, including Medicare, don’t cover exams and services for dental, vision, and hearing care. But as you age, receiving routine care for your teeth, eyes, and ears is essential.
