Making Hospital Indemnity part of the mix
Now more than ever, employees are forced to consider if they have enough protection, and what extra insurance they may need to pay for unexpected medical costs that may not be covered by medical plans. Supplemental health insurance can help fill those coverage gaps. With supplemental health coverage, your clients can offer employees additional financial protection regardless of their current medical insurance.
