Short-Term Medical Insurance Plans

Need to bridge a health insurance coverage gap? A short-term medical insurance plan can help. It provides temporary health insurance to help offset costs if you have a medical emergency unrelated to a pre-existing condition. You can apply for coverage for a specific period—typically 1 month to 364 days (and in some cases, up to 36 months).


You might need a short-term medical plan if...

  • You were laid off or let go, and you need coverage while in between jobs and employee benefits.
  • You are a student and you are waiting for other health insurance to begin.
  • You don't have or can't get major medical coverage.
  • You missed the open enrollment period for ACA plans or for other major medical coverage.
  • You'll be eligible for Medicare soon, but you need coverage to help protect you in the meantime.

Short-Term Medical Plan Overview

Like major medical insurance, short-term medical plans have monthly premiums, deductibles, co-insurance, co-pays, and out-of-pocket maximums. But unlike major medical insurance, short-term medical plans:

  • Are typically more affordable
  • Offer simplified underwriting for an easier application process
  • Provide fast approval—many applicants receive coverage within a day of applying
  • Include flexible terms—get coverage from 1 month to 364 days (and in some cases, renew up to 36 months)
