Short-Term – Temporary
Health Insurance
Short term health insurance is ideal for individuals who know they only need coverage for a specific amount of time. For example, short term health insurance is appropriate if you will be covered by an employer or spouse’s insurance within the few months.
Short term health insurance plans are usually to guard against unanticipated doctor bills or hospital stays and usually give coverage for six months, but some have the option to extend coverage for up to twelve months. This type of coverage does not typically cover pre-existing medical conditions. If you have a pre-existing condition, you should research whether you are eligible for a HIPPA plan or COBRA through a previous employer.
