Who needs short-term medical:

1. Individuals experiencing a gap in coverage: Short-term medical insurance is commonly sought by individuals who are between jobs and do not have employer-sponsored health insurance. It provides temporary coverage until they secure a new job or other coverage options.
2. Those waiting for other coverage to begin: If you have applied for other types of health insurance with waiting periods or enrollment periods, short-term medical insurance can provide coverage in the interim. This ensures you have access to healthcare services while waiting for your primary coverage to begin.
3. Individuals seeking affordable coverage: Short-term medical insurance plans generally have lower monthly premiums compared to traditional health insurance options. This makes it an attractive choice for individuals who want temporary coverage that fits within their budget.
4. Those ineligible for other types of insurance: If you do not qualify for Medicaid, Medicare, or other government health insurance programs, short-term medical insurance can be an alternative option. It allows individuals without pre-existing conditions to have some coverage in case of unexpected medical needs.
