HOSPITAL CASH BENEFIT

The Member will be paid the Specified Daily Benefit of:

while he or any eligible Dependent is admitted as an in-patient in a Hospital and under the care of a licensed Physician.

A Hospital Day will be recognized in accordance with the Hospital’s billing practices. Such period of hospitalization must:

For injury or illness that begins while this coverage is in force, a benefit of 50% of the Specified Daily Benefit will be paid for the number of days the Insured Person recovers at home, not to exceed the number of days that the Insured Person was hospitalized for the covered injury or illness to a maximum of 20 days, subject to a maximum of $1,250.00.
