SHORT-TERM INSURANCE IN THE USA

Almost all USA insurance companies provide short-term plans for people between jobs, between school and jobs, or who don’t want to pay the high premiums for a long-term plan. The disadvantage of these plans is that they are short-term; and if you developed a chronic disease, you would only be covered up to the expiration date of the insurance plan. The flip side is that they are a lot less expensive than regular long-term plans.

If you need short-term insurance coverage before leaving for the field we suggest the “Secure Med,” “Select,” or “Horizon” plan. The only plan that will work for furloughing missionaries is the “Horizon” plan. All of these plans provide good coverage. You can study and even apply for these two plans online at www.GNshorttermhealthplan.com. We also have several other short-term plans for the furloughing international worker and the worker settling back into the USA
