Short-term health insurance is a great coverage option for a lot of people, but we’ve found that not a lot of people know much about it!
The idea is simple enough — get good, catastrophic health insurance protection (that’s the main point) for a short period of time – for example, while you’re waiting to get on the plan at your new job.
But it also works if you’re having trouble with the price of a traditional individual health insurance plan (the short time frame lowers the price significantly), and can sometimes work if you’re having trouble with underwriting on an individual plan (again, the shorter time frame leads to more relaxed underwriting standards).
Here’s a summary of some of the benefits available with short-term health insurance with our preferred partner, HCC. You can get a quote and have coverage in place tomorrow.
