More about short term medical insurance USA

Click to view

Gap plans, bridge plans and transitional health plans are all designed to be temporary in nature (3 months up to one year if renewable) and non-renewable beyond one year. They are for those returning to the USA or coming to the USA. They are for those needing temporary health insurance until they secure employment that offer a group health insurance plan, or until open enrollment in healthcare.gov.

These short term medical insurance USA plans are often much cheaper than other coverage options, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. And most of them allow you to see any physician or network or clinic. This is especially convenient if you will be traveling around the country when you are in the USA.

Short-term plans are only short-term solutions

Since these short term medical insurance USA plans are not renewable beyond one year (and some are not renewable at all), they are not a replacement for other forms of long-term domestic health insurance. They are primarily for protecting your family and finances until you can secure a long-term health plan, or until you return overseas.

Note that your long-term international health insurance may already give you up to a few months health insurance when you return home. Often called “home country coverage” or by another name, you may already have it on your international health insurance policy. Or it may have been optional coverage that you may or may not have selected.  If you have any questions, call us and we’ll help you determine if you have it or what health insurance best fits your needs and budget. Or email us at [email protected] for personalized help and attention.

As a broker, we are paid by the insurance companies directly so it doesn’t cost you anything. However, you get the direct benefit of having multiple policies and plans to compare instantly all in one place! No need to fill out multiple quote forms and applications.
