Covered Benefit 2
Susan wakes up in the middle of the night experiencing chest pain. An ambulance takes her to the emergency room (ER) at a local hospital. Upon arrival, the ER doctor examines Susan and advises that she requires immediate admission to the Intensive Care Unit for further evaluation and treatment. After 1 day in the Intensive Care Unit, Susan moves to a standard room and spends 2 additional days recovering in the hospital. Susan was released to her primary care physician for follow-up treatment and observation. Her primary doctor is now keeping a close watch over Susan’s overall health. Depending on her health insurance, Susan’s out-of-pocket costs could run into hundreds of dollars to cover expenses like insurance co-payments and deductibles. MetLife Group Hospital Indemnity Insurance payments can be used to help cover these unexpected costs or in any other way Susan sees fit.
