1 Underwritten by Customer Service: or Everyone deserves a better Tomorrow. TransChoice Advance is hospital indemnity insurance. When Talia comes down with a particularly nasty cough, what she thought was just a cold soon turns into pneumonia that puts her in the hospital. She and her family are relieved that she responds well to treatment and is discharged within a few days without lasting effects. Her finances would not recover nearly so easily if she hadn t signed up for her employer s hospital indemnity insurance. With benefits that help complement her major medical insurance, her family is able to overcome financial repercussions after her body overcomes the infection. Choose flexible benefits to manage your health care expenses. TransChoice Advance pays an amount for each day the insured is hospitalized, up to specific maximum limits.
