Being admitted to the hospital is hopefully something you or your family will never have to experience. However, if you are admitted into the hospital, do you have enough set aside to cover the out-of-pocket costs associated with a hospital stay? What if you have to be in the hospital for a week or more? Those charges add up. How will you pay the expenses that accumulate with each day you are in the hospital? The total can quickly become overwhelming for a family. Will you be able to afford all of the indirect costs if you are confined to the hospital for an extended period?
