住院每日定額保險:不要當成全面醫療保險

看到「每天住院可領固定金額」的廣告,應先確認是否 fixed-indemnity 或 hospital indemnity 產品。TDI 與 NAIC 把它與全面醫療保險分開:按指定住院日數或合約事件支付固定利益,不是承諾付清實際醫院帳單。

購買前請索取完整保單,逐項查每日或每次給付額、可給付日數、等待期、既有病況及其他排除條件,再與自己現有健康保險比較。低保費不等於發生大額費用時保障足夠;也不要只因代理說是「醫療計劃」就假設它有全面保險同等保障。

這類產品可作額外補充,但不能直接取代主要醫療保障。官方亦把只保意外或指定疾病的產品列為有限利益類別,三者不應混為一談。保留產品名稱、承保公司、費用及書面說明,必要時向州保險部門查核公司和銷售資格;不要因看見固定現金利益就取消原保單。

English
Fixed hospital benefits are not comprehensive health insurance

An advertisement offering a fixed payment for each hospital day may describe hospital or other fixed-indemnity insurance. TDI and NAIC distinguish it from comprehensive health coverage: it pays specified benefits for covered days or events rather than promising to settle the actual hospital bill.

Request the full contract and compare daily or event amounts, payable-day limits, waiting periods, pre-existing-condition provisions and other exclusions with existing coverage. A low premium does not establish adequate protection against a large bill. A salesperson's description of a product as a health plan does not give it the same scope as comprehensive insurance.

Such a policy can supplement protection but should not be treated as a direct replacement for major medical coverage. Accident-only and specified-disease products are other limited-benefit categories, not interchangeable names. Retain the insurer's name, product details, charges and written explanations, and check licensing through the state insurance department when needed. Do not cancel an existing policy merely because a fixed cash benefit sounds attractive.
