Trustmark Hospital StayPay - Hospital insurance

Helping keep your finances balanced while your body recovers

Nobody expects to wind up in the hospital. And if you do, you may assume your medical insurance will pay for it all. But hospital stays can be incredibly expensive. 

Trustmark Hospital StayPay® is hospital insurance that pays cash directly to you for days you spend in the hospital. The plan pays regardless of other coverage you have, and there are no restrictions on how you may use the money. 

With Hospital StayPay, you can worry less about your bills, and focus on recovering.
Helping keep your finances balanced while your body recovers

Hospital insurance takes the pain out of hospital bills

Hospital bills can be sky-high, no matter what kind of medical insurance you have. And if you have a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), the costs of a hospital stay can hit you all at once. Imagine having to pay your entire yearly out-of-pocket maximum in one day! 

That’s where Hospital StayPay comes in. We’ll pay you a daily benefit just for being hospitalized, as well as for every day you spend in the hospital (up to 365 days).  If you have to spend time in intensive care, those days could pay double the normal daily rate. Some plans pay for other things, too – talk to your sales or benefits representative to learn more.
