Short-term insurance is how you maintain your health insurance during times of transition in your life.
It provides affordable, temporary health coverage to individuals and families for a pre-determined amount of time.
Coverage can last as little as 30 days to as long as 6-months and in some states a year.
Often, employers will have a waiting period from the date you are hired to when your benefits become effective.
If you are left without coverage during that time, short term insurance is a great, affordable option to avoid being stuck with high medical bills in the case of an accident.
