Short Term Health Plans

Short Term Health Plans are temporary insurance solutions designed to provide limited coverage for individuals between jobs, waiting for group insurance to start, or experiencing a lapse in coverage. These plans typically last from 30 days to 12 months, with some states allowing longer terms. Although not ACA-compliant, short term plans cover basic medical needs like emergency visits and hospitalization at a lower monthly cost.

FAQs

It’s temporary coverage designed to protect individuals during gaps between long-term plans (e.g., between jobs).

Ideal for those between jobs, recent graduates, or waiting for employer benefits or ACA coverage to start.

Coverage can often start as soon as the next day after application approval.

You can switch, but you’ll need to apply during the next open enrollment period or qualify for a special enrollment period. Short-term plans do not count as major medical coverage, so gaps may affect eligibility for subsidies.

Some plans allow extensions, but the total duration is usually limited by state regulations. You should check with your provider to understand how long you can stay covered.

Coverage for prescription drugs varies by plan. Some offer basic prescription benefits, while others may not cover medications at all. Always verify the prescription policy before enrolling.

Short-term health plans usually have a fixed term and cannot be renewed indefinitely. You may be able to apply for a new plan once your current coverage ends.

In most cases, no. Short-term plans generally do not cover pre-existing conditions.

It depends on the state and provider—plans typically last from 30 days up to 12 months, with possible extensions.

Yes. You can cancel at any time without penalties if your situation changes or you gain long-term coverage.

Most short-term plans cover emergency care, but coverage may be limited compared to standard health insurance. Costs can be higher, so it’s wise to check the deductible and copay details.

Short-term plans typically do not cover maternity or newborn care. If you are planning a pregnancy, a standard health insurance plan may be a better option.

New York law prohibits traditional short term medical plans, so residents must consider ACA compliant policies, employer coverage, or limited benefit options when temporary insurance is needed during job changes, enrollment gaps, or waiting periods.
