Short Term Health Insurance

PDF Print E-mail

Short term health insurance plans typically feature lower premiums and may be the best alternative when in between jobs.

These policies typically provide 90 days of coverage but can be extended up to 185, or in some cases, 365 days.

  • Lower Premiums
  • Prevents breaks in coverage that would make you ineligible for HIPPA protection
  • Typically have more exclusions than COBRA coverage or permanent policies
When you find a new job that offers health coverage, or if you are eligible for coverage under a family member's employment-based plan, HIPAA includes protections for citizens of Colorado (and all states) for coverage under group health plans that:
  • Limit exclusions for pre-existing conditions
  • Prohibit discrimination against employees and dependents based on their health status
  • Allow a special opportunity to enroll in a new plan to individuals in certain circumstances
However, to be eligible for the protections offered by HIPAA, you should avoid breaks in health care coverage of 63 days or more.
