Why Hospital Indemnity Is Your Most Overlooked Cross-Sell

Aaron Sims explaining why hospital indemnity is a smart cross-sell strategy for agents

Why Hospital Indemnity Is Your Most Overlooked Cross-Sell

You don’t need more leads.
You need more value per lead.

And hospital indemnity is the simplest, cleanest, and most overlooked cross-sell in the industry.

Here’s why.

#1: You Already Have the Opportunity

You’re already:

  • Reviewing medical coverage

  • Talking about deductibles

  • Seeing gaps your clients don’t understand

You don’t need a new appointment or a second phone call.
Just a clean transition in the same conversation.

#2: You Don’t Need a New License, Product Line, or System

No learning curve.
No quoting engines.
No commissions to split with a call center.
No carrier testing, contracting, or back-office stress.

It’s plug-and-play cross-selling.

#3: It Adds Revenue Without Costing the Client Much

A typical policy is:

  • $20–$50/month

  • Pays $250+ per hospital day

  • Often includes ambulance, skilled nursing, and more

It’s high-impact. Low-cost. No-brainer.

And it builds retention like nothing else.

#4: It Positions You as the “Gap Expert”

Anyone can sell a Medicare Advantage plan.
Very few can explain:

  • What’s missing

  • Why it matters

  • How to fill it

That’s what makes clients refer you.

#5: It Works With Any Age Group

Medicare Advantage ✅
ACA or Marketplace ✅
Short-Term Medical ✅
Group Plans ✅
Even High-Deductible Major Medical ✅

Wherever there’s a deductible or a gap, hospital indemnity has a role.

Final Word

The best cross-sell is the one that:

  • Requires zero additional lead cost

  • Adds value and peace of mind

  • Pays you month after month

That’s hospital indemnity.

It’s not just something you can sell —
It’s something you should.
