Honest fit

Who this suits, and who it does not

Worth considering if…

  • Your Medicare Advantage plan charges you a copay for each day in hospital, and you want help with it.
  • You want money you can spend on anything while you recover, not only on the hospital bill.

Probably not for you if…

  • You want a policy that pays your hospital bill in full. This pays fixed amounts, whatever the bill comes to.
  • You already have a Medicare Supplement that pays your Part A deductible and coinsurance. You may be paying twice for the same stay.
  • You expect a hospital stay soon for something you already have. A pre-existing condition limitation applies; it is set out below.
