Short Term Health Plans (Cont.)

The typical short term health plan covers most of the same services a permanent policies do, with some differences.

Because most short term health plans are fee-for-service (indemnity) plans, preventative and routine care (like check-ups) won't be covered, nor will dental or vision care. Most temporary health insurance is very strict about denying coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Most short term health insurance plans can be adapted to extend coverage to a spouse and dependents.

Short term health insurance plans are very affordable. The monthly premium on a standard short term health insurance policy may be as low as $25 per month, depending on what deductible is chosen
