When comparing travel insurance and international medical insurance plans, there can be coverage for hospital indemnity with the emergency medical & dental benefit.

Hospital indemnity is a payment made by the insurance company to the traveler while they are hospitalized overnight.  There is normally a daily dollar limit as well as a set amount of time that the payments will continue.

Always refer to the certificate of insurance for details.
