Hospital/Medical/Surgical insurance
Hospital/medical/surgical coverage from Physicians Mutual offers the important protection you need at a price that can be easy on your pocketbook. This health insurance can help you pay for the health care services you most likely will need.
They offer two types of limited benefit hospital/ medical/surgical coverage:

• Primary Plan — can provide an affordable alternative to traditional major medical insurance.
• Supplemental Plan — can provide additional benefits to help fill the gaps in other health plans. Or, it can work by itself if major medical health insurance is simply not in your budget.

Catastrophic major medical
What if you have a heart attack, stroke or some other catastrophic event? These are major medical expenses that basic health insurance may not cover… which could leave you with high out-of-pocket expenses and mounting debt.

That's where the Affordable Answer™ Plus insurance policy from Physicians Mutual Insurance Company can help. It is catastrophic insurance to help cover some of the most expensive health care costs.

Originally designed to work hand-in-hand with Physicians Mutual’s Affordable Answer™ hospital/medical/surgical insurance to help give you the best coverage possible, it also works as a stand-alone insurance policy.

Hospitalization insurance
Hospital insurance from Physicians Mutual Insurance Company can be a great option — whether you want to enhance your existing insurance or gain new coverage if you are currently without protection.

So just how can this hospital insurance help you? Well, it can help provide protection from the high costs a hospital stay often brings … expenses that can have an impact on your savings and good credit.

Cancer Insurance
Traditional major medical insurance, while providing comprehensive coverage, may have gaps when it comes to critical illnesses (like cancer, heart attack and stroke). In fact, some of the expenses related to cancer may not be covered by traditional Major Medical insurance.

With the Secure Answer Plan from Physicians Mutual Insurance Company — which includes important preventive care services — you can receive benefits for the cancer treatment you may need and the help you deserve, when it counts the most.

You can also choose to receive additional optional rider benefits for heart attack, stroke or coronary artery bypass surgery.

Outpatient Insurance
Outpatient surgery can be very costly. There can be all kinds of expenses beyond the actual procedure … things like lab tests, X-rays, prescriptions and at-home recovery care can all add up to hundreds of dollars.

That's where outpatient surgery insurance from Physicians Mutual Insurance Company steps in. You can use it to help pay your extra expenses and strengthen your overall protection … all at a price that can easily fit your budget.

Medicare Plans

Medicare Supplement insurance can help you pay the bills Medicare may not cover (often called coverage "gaps"). This is important because it can help:

• Reduce the amount of money you have to spend out of your own pocket
• Provide more insurance protection than Medicare alone

At Physicians Life Insurance Company, they understand the need for Medicare Supplement insurance and can help you pick the coverage that's right for you.
Depending on the type of coverage you choose, you can receive benefits for:

• Medicare deductibles, co-payments and coinsurance
• Hospital stays
• Skilled nursing facility stays
• At-home recovery care
