Hospital indemnity
Mutual of Omaha Hospital Protection Plan
A hospital stay can bring deductibles, copays, and everyday bills that keep coming while you recover.

You decide how to use the money, and benefits are paid in addition to Medicare or any other coverage you have.

- Observation stays are covered, up to five days per calendar year
- Built-in benefits for mental health stays and pet boarding while you are in the hospital
- Guaranteed renewable as long as premiums are paid on time
- Issue ages 18 to 85, with a guaranteed issue period for ages 64 to 74 with no health questions
- Rates do not change for tobacco use, and a household discount may be available
