For 2025, Effingham County Schools will offer Hospital Indemnity coverage through Unum. The Unum Hospital Indemnity plan is designed to provide financial protection for covered individuals by paying benefits for hospitalizations and, in some cases, for treatment related to accidents or illnesses. Employees can use these benefits to cover out-of-pocket expenses and additional bills that may arise. Lump sum payments are made directly to the employee according to the coverage amounts specified in the schedule of benefits. There are no exclusions for pre-existing conditions, and pregnancy is treated like any other medical condition.
