Short-Term Medical Insurance Plans

Short Term Medical is a type of health insurance that helps individuals with basic medical coverage during gaps in insurance coverage. The premiums for these plans are quite affordable, though they provide fewer “essential health benefits” than comprehensive ACA health plans.

Short Term Medical plans last up to 12 months, but may be cancelled at any time without penalties.
