Temporary medical insurance overage can be purchased for as few as 30 days or up to 6 months. A new policy can be purchased to extend the health insurance coverage for a second term in most cases. Keep in mind that each extension is a new policy and won't cover conditions treated by the previous coverage. Coverage ends with the current term unless hospitalized or disabled. You can send the full premium with the application or choose a convenient monthly payment option. You can pay by check or a credit card.

Short Term Medical is designed to provide coverage for major hospital, medical and surgical expenses incurred as a result of medically necessary care for a covered illness or injury. Coverage is generally provided for daily hospital room and board, miscellaneous hospital services, surgical services, anesthesia services, in-hospital services, and out-of-hospital care, subject to any deductibles or rate of payment provisions or other limitations which may be set forth in the policy. Each plan has unique benefit designs and it is recommended that you refer to company literature for a more complete description of coverage.
