The Insurance Policy That Pays You Cash In The Event Of A Covered Hospitalization
Who needs EquiCash?Sure, most of us have health insurance and we think that's all we need but consider this:
- The average expenditure for a hospital stay is $8,793.(1)
- The average age of a hospital inpatient is approximately 53; 38% are age 65 years and over and 24% are age 75 years and over.(2)
- The average inpatient hospital length of stay is 5.5 days for people age 65 years and over, 5 days for those aged 45-64 years, and 3.7 days for those aged 15-44 years.(2)
- The increasing number of Americans age 65+ has the potential to greatly increase the nation's already high health care costs. The cost of providing health care for one person age 65+ is approximately three to five times greater than the cost for someone younger than 65.(3)
