Understanding Short Term Medical Insurance
Overview
Many Americans, whether unemployed, working part-time, or attending school, seek health coverage. If you're in good health, short-term medical insurance might be an attractive option. It serves those in transition or those who find COBRA unaffordable, offering both individual and family plans that last from 30 days to six months.
How It Works
Understanding the nuances of these plans is crucial. Most short-term policies allow you to see any doctor or specialist but often require pre-certification. Despite their affordability, they typically exclude preventative care, such as physical exams, immunizations, and PAP tests. Designed for generally healthy individuals, these plans don’t cover pre-existing conditions or related treatments. Furthermore, if you've made claims on a previous policy, a new one might not be issued.
Eligibility Criteria
To apply, you must be under 65 and not currently insured. If denied health coverage elsewhere, you're unlikely to qualify. Once accepted, you can pay premiums monthly or upfront, with potential discounts for single payments.
Benefits and Limitations
Short-term medical insurance is ideal for those needing immediate coverage without the burden of high premiums. However, it’s not available to individuals with pre-existing conditions, who must pay higher monthly rates for comprehensive coverage. For eligible individuals, numerous companies offer competitive rates, enabling you to shop around for the best policy at the best price.
