Citi Benefits Handbook
Hospital Indemnity Plan
Although Citi offers you the opportunity to enroll in comprehensive medical coverage, there are still expenses associate with a hospital stay that the plan may not cover. These include copays, coinsurance, prescription drug copays and other non-medical expenses such as childcare, mortgage payments and utility bills.
