Summer is here and 2016 is almost half over, but if you still\u00a0lack health insurance, a short term plan could be the\"Smiling solution.\u00a0 Temporary health plans <\/a>are a viable option for people who are experiencing gaps in coverage due to a job change, a move or other life circumstances.\u00a0 They are also great for individuals who may be exempt from the individual mandate (tax penalty) to buy health insurance or those who may just choose to buy health insurance outside of Open Enrollment.<\/a><\/p>\n

There are many benefits to a short term health plan.\u00a0 For instance, most temporary insurance plans are less expensive than regular health insurance plans.\u00a0 In fact, they are a low-cost solution that could protect your financial security should you be faced with an unexpected illness or injury<\/a>.\u00a0 You can also be approved for short term plans as soon as the very next day and\u00a0coverage can be in place anywhere from 1 month to 11 months, whatever your\u00a0circumstances require.\u00a0 Temporary health insurance is a great way to fill gaps during times of transition or change.<\/p>\n

Although these plans won’t cover\u00a0preexisting conditions and will not keep you from incurring a tax penalty (unless you are exempt), these plans\u00a0can\u00a0protect you in catastrophic circumstances and help give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you will be covered in an emergency.\u00a0 You can choose the amount of your deductible and coinsurance and there are even some temporary plans that offer copayments for primary care office visits.\u00a0 If you are still uninsured for 2016, consider a temporary health insurance plan.<\/a>\u00a0 Contact one of our\u00a0authorized agents to find out if short term coverage is right for you.<\/p>\n
