Short Term Health Insurance
The ever rising cost of getting a medical check up done and for getting any kind of treatment, makes it imperative for people to buy health insurance policies. These health insurance policies cover the medical expenses and bills of people. The time period for which these policies are taken varies from one person to another.
People who do not have a permanent health insurance plan can opt for temporary health insurance. Temporary insurance plans are available for different time periods ranging from 30 days to 180 days.
Once the maximum time for which the policy has been issued is over, it must be renewed. In instances when the policy has been claimed, the policy is not renewed by the insurance companies. Temporary plans cannot substitute the permanent health insurance plans. Temporary health insurance is meant for students who have passed out of college or for people who do not have permanent jobs. People with part time jobs and those who retire early can also opt for these plans.
A temporary health insurance plan is the one which provides for unforeseen illness or injuries. Like permanent health insurance plan, a temporary health plan does not cover routine check ups, preventive care and dental bills. These temporary plans are only for a short time frame after which a person may not be able to buy another health insurance plan, depending upon the person’s health.
A temporary health insurance plan is no expensive like standard plans. The amount of premium is small. Insurance companies pay the entire amount at the once and most people take this payment through a credit card.
A few types of organ transplants are also covered by these plans. The dependent spouse and children of the policy holder are also covered by this type of an insurance plan.
Temporary Health Insurance plans do not cover the expenses of pre existing conditions. In general, if a person is already being treated for any health condition or problem, temporary plan will not cover these expenses.
Temporary Insurance plans are renewed on the discretion of the insurance companies. Many times, an applicant does not qualify for renewal of the policy. Also people above the age of 65 are generally not eligible for this type of a policy.
