Hospital indemnity
Cash payment for hospital or intensive care expenses

• Hospital indemnity provides a boost to help pay your share of hospital expenses.
• There are no 12-month pre-existing condition restrictions.
• Coverage is available to employees under 70.
• All employees pay the same rate.
• No evidence of insurability is required.

Specifically, this Aflac Group plan provides a cash payment for hospital admission, confinement or intensive care expenses due to injuries received in a covered accident or because of a covered illness. To receive this benefit, you or your covered beneficiary must be admitted to a hospital within six months of the date of the covered accident or illness. Benefits are paid for stays of up to 365 days. You receive full benefits, even if you have other medical or insurance coverage. You don’t pay a deductible, and the benefits it pays are the same no matter which hospital you use.

Coverage options
Choose from two options, Low and High. The High option pays higher benefits as shown in the list of benefit levels below.
The hospital admission benefit applies once for each covered pregnancy, accident or sickness.
This is only a sample of benefits under this plan. Please refer to your Hospital Indemnity Low or High certificate of coverage for detailed information.
