Does Health Insurance Cover Funeral Expenses?
- 37376 POINTSview profileDavid G. Pipes, CLU®, RICP®Business Development Officer, T.D. McNeil Insurance Services, Fresno, CaliforniaMost health insurance policies do not have any death benefit. Occassionally a group benefit plan will have life insurance as one component. Individually purchased health plans do not normally provide a death benefit. Life insurance is the product that will provide funds to assist with final expenses and burial expenses.Answered on February 25, 2014flag this answer

Insurance types are very specific in what they cover. Life insurance policies will not cover a trip to the dentist, and your vision policy won't cover your maternity costs. Unfortunately, your health insurance isn't going to do what a life insurance policy would have - cover those expenses. I'm sorry, but I do appreciate you asking. If you need help, please inbox me, ok?Answered on September 10, 2014flag this answer
