Various Types of Hospitalization Coverage
Posted By Administrator
Aside from the basic health insurance coverage which includes regular medical check-ups, hospitalization (with certain limitations) and basic treatments, other types of coverage are available for your specific needs. For the working class, some of the coverage are offered by employers.
Hospital-surgical policies provide hospitalization benefits that include room and board, doctor�s services while in the hospital, surgery, laboratory and X-ray. This, however, is limited only to certain kinds of illnesses, and has a maximum limit on the costs, the excess of which will be shouldered by the patient.
For specific dreaded diseases such as cancer, a specified or dread-disease policy provides coverage, but might not be available in all states in the US.
Beneficial especially for workers who are paid by the day is the hospital indemnity insurance where a patient is paid a certain amount for each day he is hospitalized. There may be certain limitations on the illnesses covered by such plan.
