Short Term Health Insurance

What is Short-Term Health Insurance?

Short-Term Health plans offer temporary coverage with limited benefits. They are not Affordable Care Act-compliant, don't cover pre-existing conditions, and most are not guaranteed issue, which means that the insurance company can ask you health questions and can reject you for a health condition. (Select carriers in some states offer Short-Term Health plans that are guaranteed issue, but these plans do exclude pre-existing conditions.)

Note: depending on the state (subject to state insurance commission approval) and carrier, under current regulations short- term plans can be issued for up to 364 days and can be purchased in yearly increments up to a maximum of three years less one day. (Florida permits issuance of such plans for the maximum permitted duration.) States are permitted to lower maximum length of coverage allowed for these plans and/or also require inclusion of state-specific provisions. California, for example doesn’t permit issuance of short-term plans at all, and others have limited the duration of such plans below the maximum permitted.

In most cases medical underwriting is required, which means that the carrier can ask you health questions and you can be refused coverage if you have certain conditions.

Call us at 786-970-0740 for details and options.

We are aware of only one national carrier that permits selling Short-Term Health plans on a child-only basis; with other carriers children must be included in an adult's policy and qualify medically in order to be eligible for enrollment in a Short-Term Health policy.

Short-Term Plans Can Help in These Situations

  • Affordable Care Act: If you're outside of Open Enrollment, don't have a "qualifying life event," and can't qualify to enroll in an Affordable Care Act plan, Short-Term Health plans can bridge the gap until you can apply during the next Open Enrollment Period.
  • Change of Employment: Laid off? Job loss? Get covered in-between jobs until you can be covered again by employer group coverage.
  • Before Medicare: Waiting for coverage? A Short-Term Health plan can protect you in the meantime.
  • Proof of Coverage: Need proof of insurance for some reason? Many colleges, for example, require proof of insurance before they will let you take classes. A Short-Term Health plan can be quick and affordable. [Note that many colleges offer Student Health Insurance, and these types of plans are alternatives to short-term health plans. Many student health insurance plans meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act and contain all 10 of what are called the “Essential Health Benefits.”]

What Short-Term Health Plans Offer

  • Affordable Premiums: Compared to other alternatives, Short-Term-Health Insurance can have low, affordable rates. Some carriers have provided preferred premium pricing and offer up to 25% discounts if you buy 364 day or less policies and pay on a lump sum basis; with some others it is less expensive to buy two six-month policies but simplified underwriting is required for the second policy.
  • Peace of Mind: Get protected from an unexpected illness or injury. Some carriers permit you to buy accident, hospital indemnity, and critical illness policies that you can keep up to age 75 even if you change carriers or plans. These plans can be tailored to eliminate deductibles in case of accidents, hospitalization due to illness, or contraction of a critical illness. Other carriers permit you to buy 2 or three one-year policies that lock in your premiums, and health questions answered for the first-year policy are accepted as answers to the health questions for the second or third year policies. Hence, a condition that is contracted after the start of the first policy will not disqualify you for the second or third policy.
  • Quick Approval: Coverage can start as soon as the day after making application and most applications can be made on-line.

family consulting

We offer a comprehensive set of Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) plans

to individuals and families qualified to buy health (tax- and non-tax subsidized) insurance and dental/vision and/or hearing plans through the Federal marketplace (this is called buying “on-exchange” or “on-marketplace”) or directly from insurance carriers (this is referred to as buying “off-exchange or -marketplace”). Our Affordable Care Act policies comply with the Affordable Care Act and contain all of the “essential health benefits” required by that law.
