Key Terms

supplemental insurance, voluntary benefits, hospital indemnity

3 terms

supplemental insurance financial

"a leading North American provider of supplemental insurance, today announced"

Supplemental insurance is an extra policy people buy to cover costs that their main health or disability plan doesn’t pay for, such as copays, deductibles, lost wages, or specific services. For investors, it matters because these products create additional, often steady revenue streams for insurers, shift claims risk and customer retention dynamics, and respond differently to regulation and consumer demand than primary coverage—think of it as an add‑on that fills holes in a basic plan.

voluntary benefits financial

"delivers voluntary benefits sold through the worksite and to individuals"

Voluntary benefits are optional insurance policies and workplace services employees can choose to buy through their employer, typically paid via payroll deductions—examples include vision, dental, life, disability, accident, and pet insurance. They matter to investors because uptake affects a company’s total compensation cost, employee retention and productivity, and the revenue and risk profile of insurers and benefits providers; think of them as optional add‑ons at checkout that influence both workforce stability and sales for benefit vendors.

hospital indemnity financial

"These products include accident, cancer, critical illness, disability, life, and hospital indemnity."

Hospital indemnity is a type of insurance policy that pays a fixed cash benefit when an insured person is admitted to a hospital or receives specific inpatient care, much like a small, predetermined payout each time someone has a hospital stay. For investors, uptake rates, claim frequency and benefit levels affect an insurer or benefits-provider’s revenue and profit margins and signal how sensitive a business may be to medical cost trends and employer health-plan decisions.
