Short-term health insurance provides only temporary health insurance relief for those certain that they will be receiving permanent, comprehensive health insurance in the near future. As most short-term health insurance plans only provide health insurance benefits for 1-6 months, they are intended for those people who expect to be receiving full medical benefits in the immediate future.
Medical procedures covered by Oregon short-term health insurance are limited to medically necessary care. Short-term health insurance plans will not cover costs associated with 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.
