A high deductible doesn’t care that it was “just” a doctor visit. The whole bill can land on you until the deductible is met.
Fixed indemnity is built for that gap. Each covered service has a preset cash benefit, and it’s paid to you, not the doctor. You decide where it goes: the bill, the copay, or groceries that week. It sits alongside your main health plan, not in place of it.
Common follow-up questions
📜 Does it replace my health insurance?
No. It’s a limited-benefit supplemental policy. It doesn’t count as minimum essential coverage under the ACA, so it works best next to a major medical plan.
📅 Do I have to wait for Open Enrollment?
No. You can apply any time of year, for yourself or your family.
