Over the next year, 17% of your Medicare Advantage (MA) customers will have at least one hospital confinement lasting an average of four and a half days.1 With many MA policies requiring co-payments in the hundreds of dollars for each of these days, your customers’ out-of-pocket expenses could quickly become a burden. Offer them the financial protection they need with a Cigna HealthcareSM Choice Hospital Indemnity insurance policy.

With guaranteed issue policies2 starting at $6.45 per month3 for Medicare-eligible individuals, three plan levels, and four optional riders, your customers can choose the coverage that best suits their needs and budget. The base plan is guaranteed renewable for life4 and pays benefits5 when an individual is admitted to an observation room, is confined in a hospital,6 or has a stay in a mental health or substance use facility.7 Some of the additional features include:

  • An unlimited number of hospital confinements for different covered injuries or illnesses with no restoration period requirement.8
  • Benefits for personal mobility items, including oxygen equipment, walkers and wheelchairs.
  • Ambulance transportation, skilled nursing facility, and outpatient rehabilitation benefits are also available.

Plus, you'll also earn a $25 bonus for every qualifying Choice Hospital Indemnity application you write each month through December 31, 2024, with a minimum of five qualifying Cigna Healthcare Supplemental Health product applications.9 Bonuses are paid the month following policy approval, so you receive what you earn quickly.
