Insuranceopedia Explains Indemnity Plan
There are two types of indemnity insurance plans: professional indemnity and indemnity health. While most indemnity insurance plans are voluntary, some businesses are legally required to provide such coverage for their employees.
Indemnity health insurance reimburses the insured after they submit a claim for covered medical care. These plans typically pay a specific amount per day for a set number of days. Some plans may also include coinsurance, which is covered by the insurer.
