BENEFITS BASKET
Receive payments to help cover the cost of a hospital stay through MetLife.
Even with medical insurance, a hospital stay can jeopardize your regular income and challenge your ability to cover everyday living expenses. MetLife Hospital Indemnity Insurance provides payments, in addition to your medical plan, to help cover eligible expenses associated with a hospital stay. Benefits are paid directly to you, and you can use the money however you choose. Benefits are designed to help offset expenses your medical plan doesn’t cover, such as deductibles, coinsurance and everyday bills.
Employees can enroll in the Voluntary Benefits when they are newly eligible or during Annual Open Enrollment. Employees will not be able to make mid-year changes to Voluntary Benefits.
