Supplemental Health Insurance Policies & Resources
Most supplemental health insurance policies are designed to pay in addition to your comprehensive major medical coverage. These supplemental policies should not be used as a substitute or replacement for a traditional health insurance policy or a health plan. Supplemental health insurance can pay limited benefits such as a daily dollar amount if you are hospitalized (hospital income policy) or a lump sum dollar amount if you are diagnosed with a specified or named disease, such as cancer. This type of supplemental policy can also be structured to pay expenses incurred in the treatment of the specified disease. Sometimes this insurance provides payment over and above your medical expenses. It is important that you understand the limitations and exclusions of supplemental health insurance policies and how the policies coordinate benefits, so that you can make the best decision based on your needs and your budget.
