Short-Term Medical Insurance – Temporary Coverage

Get temporary coverage for unexpected gaps, ensuring protection when you need it most.

Short-Term Medical Insurance – Temporary Coverage

Short-term health insurance policies have been available for years, offering a temporary coverage solution for individuals between jobs or waiting for employer-sponsored insurance to begin.

If you are outside the annual open enrollment period and do not have a qualifying event, a short-term health insurance plan may be your best option. These policies generally offer the most comprehensive coverage available outside of open enrollment.

When Does a Short-Term Policy Make Sense?

If you experience a qualifying life event, you may be eligible for a special enrollment period (SEP), allowing you to enroll in an ACA-compliant plan within 60 days. However, if you miss the open enrollment period and do not have a qualifying event, a short-term health plan may provide up to six months of coverage in most states.

Key Features of Short-Term Health Insurance

  • Offered with varied premium, deductible, and benefit options

  • More affordable than ACA-compliant major medical plans

  • Can include low deductibles and high benefit maximums

  • Provides immediate coverage for individuals and families

  • Covers a range of physician services, surgery, outpatient, and inpatient care

  • Allows you to choose your own doctor and hospital, though in-network providers may offer cost savings

What Short-Term Health Insurance Does NOT Cover

Short-term plans are designed for temporary coverage and do not include all ACA essential benefits. They typically exclude:

  • Routine office visits, maternity care, and preventive services

  • Mental health coverage

  • Pre-existing conditions (medical underwriting applies)

Before enrolling, review the policy exclusions to ensure the plan meets your needs.
