Add-On Coverage That Fills the Gaps
Dental, vision, hearing, hospital indemnity, and specialty plans to complement your Medicare coverage.
What Is Ancillary Insurance?
Ancillary insurance refers to supplemental policies that provide coverage beyond what your primary Medicare plan offers. These plans help cover costs for services that Original Medicare typically doesn't include, like dental work, vision care, hearing aids, and more.
Whether you're on Original Medicare, a Medigap plan, or Medicare Advantage, ancillary coverage can provide additional protection and peace of mind.
Why Consider Ancillary Coverage?
Original Medicare doesn't cover most dental, vision, and hearing services. Even many Medicare Advantage plans have limited benefits in these areas. Ancillary plans help you:
- Avoid large out-of-pocket expenses for routine care
- Maintain your dental, vision, and hearing health as you age
- Get cash benefits when hospitalized or diagnosed with a critical illness
- Customize your total coverage to fit your specific needs
Coverage for what Medicare leaves out, dental, vision, hearing, and more.

Hospital Indemnity Plans
Hospital indemnity plans pay a cash benefit directly to you when you're admitted to the hospital, stay in the ICU, or visit the emergency room. The money is yours to use however you need, copays, deductibles, travel, or everyday bills.
These plans are especially valuable for Medicare Advantage members who may face copays for hospital stays and want extra financial protection.
How You Can Use the Cash
Cash benefit paid upon diagnosis, use it for anything you need.
Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke Plans
Critical illness plans pay a lump-sum cash benefit upon diagnosis of a covered condition like cancer, heart attack, or stroke. The benefit is paid directly to you, not to the hospital or doctor.
You can use the money for anything: medical bills, experimental treatments, travel for care, lost income, or day-to-day living expenses during recovery.
These plans provide a financial safety net during one of life's most difficult moments.
Additional Riders & Specialty Coverage
Depending on your needs, you may also benefit from additional riders and specialty coverage options. These can include accident plans, short-term care coverage, prescription discount programs, and more.
