Plans pay cash benefits for eligible medical services in key health care areas you need, making Guard plans ideal companions for Short Term Medical.
How does this plan work?
Hospital Indemnity plans with optional riders are a great way to cover your medical expenses even if you have a great health insurance plan. This plan gives you the opportunity to add levels of coverage and protect yourself from out-of-pocket costs associated with hospitalization. Following a hospital say, it will pay you a fixed daily benefit amount you choose. Hospital indemnity plans have no network restrictions and will pay you directly. Some plans even include guaranteed issued options so there are no medical questions to get approved. This plan can be added to your health insurance at anytime of the year. At Utah Avenue Insurance, we make getting your claim submitted and approved easy. Simply call, email or text us after you've received treatment for a covered hospitalization and we help you with the rest.
