Where to Get Affordable Short Term Major Medical Insurance

What's the purpose of a short term major medical insurance policy? These policies provide temporary health coverage, and sometimes even dental coverage, to people who need coverage for just a short time, whether they are:

* Recent college graduates looking for a job with insurance benefits

* A new employee waiting for their benefits to begin

* Someone between jobs who did not take COBRA benefits or whose COBRA benefits have run out

These plans, which can cover an individual or an entire family, usually have terms of between one and six months, and can be renewed for up to 36 months. Most plans even allow you to terminate coverage early with no penalties once you no longer need it.


What Does Short Term Major Medical Insurance Cover?

Short term major medical policies provide protection for expenses related to accidents and major illnesses.
