WHY TO BUY HOSPITAL CASH PLAN IF I HAVE A HEALTH INSURANCE COVER?
Health insurance covers the majority of medical expenses but it may just fall short to cover all like deductible, co-pays and non-admissible items, transportation expenses, incidental charges leaving you responsible to bear the financial burden. Hospital cash plan pays cash benefit, to use anyway you deem necessary, for each day you or a dependent is hospitalized.
Some health insurance plans come bundled with hospital daily cash (as rider or add-on), but a standalone hospital cash plan is more comprehensive both in terms of benefits and the amount of cover it offers. Hospital Daily Cash plan may come with a deductible.
