Understanding Hospital Indemnity Insurance in Maine
What Is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity insurance is a type of supplemental insurance that provides fixed cash benefits for each day you’re hospitalized. Unlike major medical insurance, these benefits are paid directly to you and can be used however you choose—covering deductibles, co-pays, transportation, childcare, or even household bills. This flexibility makes it an excellent option for individuals and families in Maine seeking financial stability during a medical event.

Even the best health insurance plans often leave gaps in coverage, leading to unexpected costs like deductibles, co-pays, and non-medical expenses. That’s where Hospital Shield comes in.

How Does Hospital Indemnity Insurance Work?
Hospital indemnity plans in Maine are designed to complement your existing health insurance coverage. After an eligible hospital stay, the plan provides cash benefits based on the terms of your policy. These benefits can help bridge the financial gaps created by:
- High deductibles and co-pays
- Non-covered services
- Transportation and lodging for out-of-town care

Unlike traditional insurance plans, which pay healthcare providers directly, indemnity plans give you the flexibility to allocate funds where you need them most.
