What is short term medical coverage?
- Short Term Medical Insurance Coverage is temporary insurance for gaps in health coverage.

Instant Issue allows the policy to become effective as early as the next day.
- Until you can enroll in permanent coverage, safeguard your financial future with Short Term Medical temporary insurance. Underwriting standards for qualification are very lenient and rates are about 20% lower than permanent coverage, but exclude pre-existing conditions. Short Term Medical provides the peace of mind and health care access you need at a price you can afford.
