What it is
Fixed Indemnity
Fixed indemnity insurance is a limited-benefit plan that may pay a predetermined amount for covered medical events or services. It is often used to add extra financial support alongside other coverage.
Limited-benefit coverage
Fixed Indemnity
Set cash benefits for certain covered medical events.
Fixed indemnity insurance may pay a set benefit amount when certain covered medical services or events happen. It can help with extra costs, but it is not the same as major medical health insurance.
Understand the product
What it is, and how it works.
Start with the basics before comparing price, eligibility, and policy details.
How it works
Compare before you apply.
The policy lists covered events or services and the benefit amount that may be paid. If a covered event happens and the claim is approved, the plan may pay the set amount based on the policy schedule.
Why it matters
Medical costs can create expenses outside the hospital bill.
Even with other coverage, people may face deductibles, copays, missed work, travel, childcare, or recovery costs. Fixed indemnity benefits may help with some of those extra expenses.
