INSURANCE
Even a minor trip to the hospital can present you with unexpected expenses and medical bills. And even
with major medical insurance, your plan may only pay a portion of your entire stay.
That’s how the Aflac Group Hospital Indemnity plan can help.
It provides financial assistance to enhance your current coverage. It may help avoid dipping into savings or
having to borrow to address out-of-pocket-expenses major medical insurance was never intended to cover.
Like transportation and meals for family members, help with child care, or time away from
work, for instance.

We will not pay benefits for admission of a newborn child following his birth; however, we will pay for a newborn’s

accidental injury, more than one covered sickness, or a covered accidental injury and a covered sickness.

Once benefits are paid, if an insured becomes confined to a Hospital's Intensive Care Unit again within six months
because of the same or related condition, we will treat this confinement as the same period of confinement.
This benefit is payable in addition to the Hospital Confinement Benefit.

would continue according to the existing plan and would also include any dependent child coverage in force at the time.
In order to receive benefits for accidental injuries due to a covered accident, an insured must be admitted within six months of the date of
the covered accident (in Washington, twelve months).
We will pay the additional applicable benefit amount when an insured is admitted, confined, or receives treatment at an employer facility.
