Short Term Medical


What Does Short Term Medical Insurance Cover?

Short term medical insurance provides coverage for a limited amount of time. You receive benefits after a short waiting period of up to 14 days. You are then covered for the length of time specified in your policy, which can be from several months up to one year.

Your policy will also indicate a maximum coverage amount. You will receive benefits until you exceed the policy’s specified time limit or maximum coverage amount, or until you recover. Short term medical insurance policies pay out benefits for reasons such as the following:

  • A lengthy illness
  • A disabling injury
  • The birth of a child
