Hospital Indemnity Insurance

Complement your BMO medical coverage with additional financial support if you need to stay in the hospital. Voya administers Hospital Indemnity Insurance.

Hospital Indemnity Insurance is a voluntary benefit that supplements your medical coverage. It pays a daily benefit if you or a covered family member are admitted to a hospital, critical care unit, or rehabilitation facility. The benefit amount depends on the plan. Payments are made directly to you and can be used however you see fit. 

Here’s a high-level overview of Hospital Indemnity Insurance. For more information, go to Voya.
