Even with medical coverage, the cost of a hospital stay can really add up. MetLife’s Hospital Indemnity Insurance provides you with a lump-sum payment to use as you see fit if you experience a covered event and meet the policy and certificate requirements. This payment can help you focus more on getting back on track and less on the extra expenses an accident or illness² may bring.  

 

* There is a pre-existing exclusion for covered sicknesses. See your Disclosure Statement or Outline of Coverage/Disclosure Document for full details. Covered services/treatments must be the result of an accident or sickness as defined in the group policy/certificate. See your Disclosure Statement or Outline of Coverage/Disclosure Document for more details.

 

** The Admission Benefit is not payable for Emergency Room treatment or outpatient treatment. The payment of the admission benefit requires a Confinement. Hospital Confinement requires the assignment to a bed as a resident inpatient in a Hospital (including an Intensive Care Unit of a Hospital) on the advice of a Physician or confinement in an observation area within a Hospital for a period of no less than 20 continuous hours on the advice of a Physician. Please consult your certificate for details.
