It’s no secret that hospital bills can set a family back financially. When you’re admitted to a hospital, Hospital Insurance can help you cover the expenses that often follow, so you can focus on your recovery — not your finances. Sign up when it’s offered to you at work.
Even if you have medical insurance, a trip to the hospital can leave you with significant unexpected expenses, like co-payments, deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs.
Unum Hospital Insurance can help, by providing payments you can use to manage your expenses during a stressful time.
An unexpected hospitalization can drain a family’s savings. But Hospital Insurance can pay a lump sum directly to you to cover some of the expenses you’re not prepared for.
Hospital Insurance pays a set amount for a hospital admission, as well as for other items covered by your plan, such as emergency room treatment and daily hospital confinement.
To help promote a healthy lifestyle, our plans can also pay a benefit when you get a covered health-screening test. 1
You, your spouse and eligible children may be covered under your plan. Talk with your HR representative for more details.
Depending on the plan offered by your employer, you can receive coverage for a hospital admission, hospital confinement expenses, diagnostic tests, outpatient or inpatient surgery, ICU confinement, emergency room and rehabilitation services, and lodging and transportation for you and a companion.
The amount provided depends on your insurance plan and the kind of treatment needed. Here’s an illustration of how Hospital Insurance could help pay for a five-day emergency hospital stay.
| Potential out-of-pocket expenses | How Hospital Insurance could help |
|---|---|
| Emergency room co-pay $100 | Hospital admission benefit $1,500 |
| Deductible $500 | Daily hospital confinement benefit ($100 x 5 days) |
| Co-insurance for five-day hospital stay ($10,000 x 20%) | |
| Total out-of-pocket expenses $2,600 | Total benefits paid $2,000 |
