That’s where Hospital Indemnity Insurance comes in.

Why Offer Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity coverage allows your employees to focus on healing, not finances
Even with the best health insurance plans, employees can still face significant out-of-pocket expenses for hospital stays and treatments. From deductibles to co-pays, these costs can add up quickly, creating financial stress for employees and their families. Hospital Indemnity Insurance provides a cash benefit that helps cover those expenses, giving your employees peace of mind during their recovery.
Medcore Brokerage offers Hospital Indemnity Insurance plans designed to complement your employees’ existing health coverage. This benefit can be used to help pay for:
- Hospital admissions
- Daily hospital stays
- Intensive care unit (ICU) stays
- Surgeries and medical procedures
- Diagnostic tests and imaging
With Hospital Indemnity Insurance, employees receive cash benefits that they can use at their discretion—whether it’s to cover medical bills, household expenses, or any other costs that arise during their hospital stay.
Commonly asked questions about hospital indemnity insurance
What hospital indemnity insurance plans are available?
Medcore Brokerage offers several individual and group hospital indemnity insurance plans, with several optional riders also available. Product availability differs by state. To learn more about the features and benefits of each one, contact your Medcore Brokerage sales representative.
How do I choose between offering my employees individual or group plans?
Individual and group plans have pros and cons. Your Colonial Life sales representative can help you determine the best fit for your business and your employees.
Pros for individual plans include:
- Employee-owned and portable, so employees can keep their policies if they change jobs
- Guaranteed renewable in most states; rates stay stable
- No participation requirements or account-level rate increases
Individual plans may have stricter underwriting requirements and have more limited rate flexibility, which leads to potentially higher rates.
Pros for group plans include:
- Employer-owned, so benefits apply to all eligible employees across state lines (based on situs state)
- Flexible underwriting with guaranteed-issue options
- More rate flexibility
Group plans may experience group-level rate increases and are ported or converted at higher rates. Minimum participation requirements are also common.

How Hospital Indemnity Insurance Works
Hospital Indemnity Insurance is a supplemental plan that provides fixed, lump-sum payments to employees when they are admitted to the hospital for covered conditions or procedures. This benefit is paid directly to the employee, not the healthcare provider, and can be used however the employee sees fit. Medcore Brokerage works with you to offer flexible plans that fit your company’s budget while providing maximum value to your employees.
Coverage typically includes:
- Admission Benefits: A lump-sum payment when an employee is admitted to the hospital, with additional payments for extended stays or ICU admissions.
- Daily Benefits: Payments for each day an employee is hospitalized, helping to cover the cost of room and board, treatment, and other medical services.
- Surgical Benefits: Cash payments for surgeries or procedures performed during a hospital stay.
- Rehabilitation Benefits: Payments for time spent in rehabilitation centers or recovery units after a hospital stay.
This coverage can be offered as an employer-paid benefit or on a voluntary basis, where employees can opt in and cover the premium through payroll deductions. Either way, Hospital Indemnity Insurance offers a valuable layer of protection for employees facing hospitalization.
