Hospital Indemnity Insurance

Coverage

Hospital Indemnity Insurance administered through Voya is a fixed daily benefit you can receive if you or an eligible family member have a covered stay in a hospital, intensive care unit, or rehabilitation facility that occurs after your coverage effective date. The purpose of this benefit is to help you add protection and be better prepared financially should a covered hospitalization occur. Claims and documentation that meet the policy and certificate requirements will need to be provided directly to Voya. No medical questions or tests are required for coverage. This benefit can complement, but not replace health insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

Please note: The Group Policy Name for Voya Hospital Indemnity is The George Washington University. The Group Policy Number is 739553.
