Short-term coverage that’s long on benefits  Change is a part of life. And sometimes it can affect your health insurance. Like when you’re starting a new job and your health coverage hasn’t kicked in yet. For times like these, one of our Individual Short-term PPO plans can fill the gap. These convenient plans let you:  

  • Protect your health and finances with traditional health coverage on a short-term basis
  • Get coverage for as little as 30 days to a maximum of 180 days.
  • Choose from a wide range of annual deductibles from $250 to $2,000.
  • Begin coverage on any day of the month.

It is important to note that because this policy offers coverage for a limited period of time, past or present health conditions are not covered.
