| Short term health insurance is an affordable solution that provides valuable basic protection against an unexpected illness or accident. Policies can be purchased for periods of time from 30 days up to 1 year (in some states only six month policies are available). These types of plans are not renewable, however if the need for temporary coverage continues beyound the policy period, a new plan may be applied for (with certain restrictions). The plans come with a variety of rate of payment (coinsurance) and deductible options, as well as a choice of single or monthly payments - allowing for control over premium and out-of-pocket expenses. |
