Cigna’s (NYSE:CI) new group hospital indemnity insurance policy, called Cigna Hospital Care, provides individuals and families additional financial protection when an unexpected covered hospitalization occurs. Available starting in April 2016, the new plan is part of Cigna's complete suite of voluntary benefit offerings which includes accidental injury, critical illness, dental, vision, AD&D, life and disability coverages.
“Whether recovering from an illness or injury or simply returning to work, we want to help customers worry less about medical bills and focus more on getting back to health and to life,” Mark Marsters, senior vice president, Group Operations for Cigna. “We designed our voluntary benefits to fit seamlessly into any comprehensive benefit package. They also provide employees more choices to help match the amount of financial protection to their individual benefit needs.”
A complementary product to major medical plans, Cigna Hospital Care addresses the unique needs of both employers and individuals:
If a customer is hospitalized due to a covered injury or illness, Cigna Hospital Care pays them a lump sum that can be used as they see fit for things like out-of-pocket medical costs, hiring extra help for child care or housework during recovery and other expenses that may come up. With two-thirds of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck, costs associated with a hospital admission can be an unexpected challenge to an individual’s finances.i According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Americans saw approximately 36 million inpatient stays nationwide in a single year, while the average hospital charges per stay increased 76 percent since 2000 to $10,730 in 2013.ii These average costs do not include a physician’s fees.
Cigna’s new group insurance policy will be available for employers to receive a quote in April 2016.
HOSPITAL INDEMNITY POLICIES PAY LIMITED BENEFITS ONLY. THIS COVERAGE DOES NOT SATISFY THE “MINIMUM ESSENTIAL COVERAGE” OR INDIVIDUAL MANDATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA). Product availability may vary by location and plan type and is subject to change.
