Plans that provide a cash payment

Guardian’s Hospital Indemnity plan provide a lump-sum payment directly to employees, even if they don’t incur any out-of-pocket expenses. And the money can be used for any purpose, medical or non-medical.

Coverage that’s needed now

A growing number of people are considered underinsured — having high out-of-pocket costs or deductibles relative to their income. And half of American families are living paycheck to paycheck.1 

Not surprisingly, many people are putting their health at risk by:

  • Skipping doctor visits
  • Delaying surgery
  • Avoiding x-rays and blood tests

Highly flexible benefits 

Guardian Hospital Indemnity Insurance provides a core admission benefit that covers members who are admitted to a hospital or intensive care unit (ICU) because of a covered sickness or injury. You can help your clients customize a plan to complement other Guardian supplemental health products or plans from other providers. And you can offer attained or issue-age rates.

It can be part of a total solution for your clients

With Guardian’s comprehensive suite of supplemental health insurance products — AccidentCancerCritical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity — your clients can count on a single provider to help cover the costs medical insurance may not cover.
