Short Term Medical plans are cheaper because they are riskier. They have more stipulations and tend not to cover co-pays or prescriptions. These plans are great for younger healthier people that don’t have any pre-existing conditions because short term plans DON’T cover pre-existing conditions.

Pre-existing condition is anything you may have been treated for, or diagnosed with, in the past (usually 2 years) So if you were treated or diagnosed with something related to your lungs, nothing related to your lungs would be covered if there was a big claim. Some pre-existing conditions might make you ineligible to even purchase a short term plan.

Major Medical Plans can NOT refuse to cover your pre-existing conditions. Were just talking about these short term plans.

Annual or Lifetime Maximums of $750,000 or $1 or $2 million are common caps on how much the insurance company will pay out.

So to sum it up, these plans are perfect for a young healthy person or family that has no prior major medical issues, no current prescriptions and wants a much cheaper price on heath insurance. If your on the fence at all give me a call and I’ll explain all of your options including going without insurance.


What I recommend

I recommend getting the “Short Term Medical Value” plan from UHOne – info below

  • You should select a $5000 Deductible.
  • Per Term, which means multiple accidents or illnesses add up during the term.
  • Select a $5000 out of pocket max.
  • Single payment instead of monthly saves you around 20%

These plans start tomorrow by default so make sure to switch the dates if you want it to start later. Be sure to click on the plan Brochure: Plan Benefits, Exclusions, Limitations pdf link to look of the fine print of the plan.
