Important Information about Short Term Health Insurance
Short-term health insurance plans are for individuals and families who know that they will be receiving standard health insurance at some near-term future date. Short-term health insurance plans run typically for 1-6 months and should never be used in place of a standard, permanent health insurance plan.
Generally, short-term health insurance plans protect you in the event of unforeseen illness or injury only. In other words, short-term health insurance plans may not provide coverage for routine health care, preventive health care and immunizations or dental and eye care. Moreover, short-term health insurance plans provide health insurance coverage for a limited time frame and once that period has passed, it may be difficult to purchase additional, permanent health insurance plans depending on the condition of your health.
