Why Hospital Confinement Indemnity Insurance?

Being admitted to the hospital is something you hope you or your family will never have to experience. However, if you had to stay in the hospital, do you have enough set aside to cover the out-of-pocket costs associated with a hospital stay? What if you have to be in the hospital for a week or more? Those charges add up. How will you pay the expenses that accumulate with each day you are in the hospital?

Consider these statistics:

• In 2003, the average length of stay in a hospital was 4.8 days.
