Pennsylvania short-term health insurance plans provide coverage for a limited period of time (usually 1-12 months), and are ideal for persons between jobs or waiting for new group insurance to begin, recent high school or college graduates, persons laid off or persons who have applied for regular health insurance but are waiting for approval. Of course, anyone can apply for a policy.
Rates are also extremely affordable…often one half the cost of a regular Pennsylvania health insurance plan. Typically, policies are approved in less than 48 hours and you may cancel them at any time. The standard application can usually be completed in less than 25 minutes, and we'll allow you to apply online, by mail, email, or fax. Usually, there are less than 10 health-related questions.
A single payment can be made for the exact period of coverage you want, or monthly payments if you are unsure how long you need coverage. For example, the monthly rate for a 40-year old male is approximately $50. Raising the deductible will reduce the monthly rate and conversely...lowering the deductible will raise the monthly rate. Additional points to consider include:
· Short-term coverage is temporary, and when your policy period ends and your health changes, you may not be able to buy additional short-term health insurance. You will probably be able to purchase other coverage, but the rate could be higher if your health changed.
· Short-term coverage is exempt from HIPAA requirements. Thus, when buying a short-term policy, insurance companies do not have to guarantee the renewal or waive the pre-existing limitation clause for eligible individuals or families.
· Deductibles are generally applied to each claim instead of each year. Unless your deductible is low, multiple claims can result in substantial out-of-pocket expenses. However, for an added premium, you may be able to buy a "per policy" deductible.
· Short-term coverage is designed to pay for catastrophic events and unexpected illnesses. Routine physicals, minor office visits, and dental/vision expenses are generally not covered. However, once the deductible has been met, you may be covered for some of these items, depending on the company.
