Indemnity Plans
Medicare doesn't cover everything. These plans pay CASH directly to you, so you can cover copays, deductibles, or anything else you choose.
HIP - Hospital
Hospital Copay Plan
Starting under $1/day* Helps pay the daily hospital copays that come with many Medicare Advantage plans.
- Typical benefit: $400 per day, up to 3 days
- Customizable if needed
STC - Short Term Care
Facility & Home Healthcare
Starting under $2/day* - Facility Care and Home Healthcare are funded separately, so using one does not reduce the other.
- Benefits can reset: after at least 180 days without needing or receiving care, both benefits can reset once during the policy lifetime.
- 20-day elimination period option costs slightly less than 0-day.
Qualifying for Benefits
Be unable to perform 2 or more Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) without substantial assistance, or require substantial supervision because of cognitive impairment. A plan of care prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider and approved by a physician is also required.
CHAS
Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke
Around $1.50/day* Pays a CASH lump sum when a covered cancer event occurs.
- Core plan: $10,000 initial cancer benefit + $10,000 recurrence benefit
- Popular option: $5,000 cancer lump sum + recurrence rider + $5,000 heart attack/stroke rider
Recurrence Benefit
The recurrence benefit is a separate benefit for a qualifying recurrence. It does not pay again for every cancer treatment. The amount paid depends on time since last advice or treatment:
| Years without advice or treatment | % payable |
| 0–2 years | 0% |
| 2–5 years | 25% |
| 5–10 years | 75% |
| 10+ years | 100% |

- Deductibles
- Copays
- Other out-of-pocket expenses
- Or anything else you choose
Highlights
- Guaranteed renewable for life
