When hospital cash cover is included under regular health cover, policyholders receive a certain amount for every 24 hours of hospitalization. However, you need to bear in mind that this benefit is available only if the cause of hospitalization is covered under the policy.
Hospitalization can be financially stressful in several ways. There may be a requirement for attendant accommodation, travel expenses, and many other requirements. Entitlement to hospital cash coverage that provides daily payouts can help considerably.
