Instead of paying out to the hospital, hospital insurance plans pay directly to the policy holder, allowing them to use the funds in any way they see fit, even if it isn’t directly related to a hospital stay. Some hospital indemnity insurance policies can also include benefits such as emergency room visits and certain outpatient procedures.
