The correct answer is: Combination of hospital and major medical benefits

Comprehensive Medical Expense coverage refers to a type of health insurance that combines both hospital expenses and major medical benefits, providing a broader range of coverage to the insured. This integration allows for a more coordinated approach to healthcare costs, covering inpatient hospital services along with various outpatient services, treatments, and preventive care associated with major medical insurance. When hospital expense coverage is combined with major medical coverage, it ensures that both basic hospital stays and more extensive medical costs are covered under a single policy. This prevents gaps in coverage and helps policyholders manage their healthcare expenses more effectively, ensuring they receive the necessary care without the worry of exceeding limits or dealing with separate coverage plans.
