Frequently asked questions about Hospital Cash Cover
What is hospital cash coverage?
Hospital cash coverage is part of the features and benefits offered by health insurance companies. It is basically a daily cash allowance provided to the insurance holder while the person is admitted to a hospital. It is beneficial for those who get daily wages and are likely to be affected due to absence at work for reasons like hospitalisation.
The amount is specified while issuing the insurance policy. For instance, an individual will receive Rs. 1,000/day of hospitalisation if the person has chosen a plan with this benefit. This financially supports them to meet their daily medical expenses at the hospital.
The amount obtained from the hospital cash cover can be utilised to meet additional hospital expenses such as surgical accessories, room rent, X-ray charges etc.
What is the difference between hospitalisation coverage and hospital cash cover?
Hospitalisation coverage defines where the insurance provider offers medical coverage to the policyholder. It financially covers medical expenses for surgeries, daycare procedures, etc. With a hospitalisation cover, you can get reimbursement on medical costs or cashless treatment.
On the other hand, hospital cash insurance offers a fixed sum insured for each day hospitalisation of more than 24-hour. It is an amount paid to the policyholder to meet various expenses during the hospitalisation period. This daily cash benefit in health insurance helps you meet inadmissible expenses during hospitalisation.

Although, as already mentioned, the health insurance plan does not cover most of the expenses during hospitalisation, the inadmissible expenses, such as surgical accessories, expenses incurred by patient’s family members, X-ray charges, etc., can be met with this daily cash policy.
Under the hospital cash plan, the policyholder receives a cash allowance of Rs. 1,000/day to meet necessary expenses. One can avail of this benefit without providing any supporting bill. The number of days for this benefit will vary across the insurance provider.
