Why would you want to get a short-term health insurance?

  • You just graduated from college and is now looking for a job, in the meantime you’re no longer covered by your college and parent’s health insurance.
  • You just found a job, but the health insurance benefit kicks in after three months

    • If you fall somewhere within these types, then you might be interested in looking for a health insurance that will temporarily cover you and/or your family.

    Most short-term health insurance has a coverage ranging from 180 days to 12 months tops. It’ll cover accidents or sudden illnesses. You’ll be in charge of picking your own doctor or clinic, and get in and out patient services as well.

    The negative side of it all is that it won’t offer all permanent plan benefits. It won’t include pre-existing conditions, routine medical exams, preventive care, optical or dental care, or pregnancy and childbirth expenses.
