A hospital stay can be expensive. Protect yourself from costs not fully covered by your medical insurance.
Hospitalization insurance (also referred to as hospital indemnity insurance) is a voluntary health protection plan offered through MetLife. It can help offset expenses that might not be covered under your medical plan. If you elect coverage, you will receive a cash benefit — per day, per week, per month or per visit — if you or a covered family member is confined in a hospital.
You can use the money however you choose, whether for hospital bills or other costs that come up while you’re recovering. This benefit is in addition to your medical coverage.
You can elect hospitalization insurance for yourself and your dependents when you are newly eligible or during Benefits Annual Enrollment.
Although you do not need to be enrolled in DXC medical coverage to elect hospitalization insurance, this is not a substitute for medical insurance.
