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.
