What is hospital indemnity insurance?

Hospital indemnity insurance pays a fixed daily cash benefit for each day you're hospitalized — regardless of diagnosis. No receipts. No coordination with health insurance. Cash is yours to use for anything. Typically pays $100–$500/day. Particularly valuable for high-deductible health plan holders. Typically costs $15–$40/month for an individual.
