Short Term Health insurance defined

Short Term health insurance is an insurance policy covering a person's medical , hospital, and emergency care according to the terms of the short term health insurance policy and generally for a LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME.  It is often offered with a variety of benefits.  Short term plans generally provide coverage for up to six months.  In some states short term plans offer coverage for up to twelve (12) months.  In some circumstances and in some states the short term plans may be renewable for up to thirty-six (36) months.  The maximum duration for each plan is described under plan details for each plan.

Generally speaking pre-existing conditions vary from state to state.  Short term health insurance generally excludes conditions diagnosed or treated in the last three to five years.  In some cases extending existing coverage for the temporary or in between period for which medical coverage is sought may be the solution.  Various government plans may be available for this purpose as well as extended benefits and options related to employer sponsored COBRA plans.

Short term insurance is especially helpful for those persons that are in between jobs and awaiting the start of other more permanent insurance.  It is generally not a good idea for those who have any medical conditions or are eligible for, or currently exhausting, their COBRA plan.  Since it is essentially temporary and in between insurance it generally does not cover pre-existing conditions and will ultimately terminate at the end of its term even it the insured's medical condition has changed and otherwise left the insured with no where else to go.

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS who have recent health insurance coverage under a group insurance COBRA eligible plan:  Buying a short-term medical plan will make you ineligible for any guaranteed issue individual medical plans, often referred to as HIPPAA plans.  In many cases HIPPAA plans are expensive but may be the best choice, especially for individuals who have pre-existing conditions that may make it difficult to otherwise obtain insurance from the private health insurance market.  As a result we recommend that you consult with your benefits adviser to discuss your rights under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPAA) and any other rights that may apply to you under your state's laws.
