Short-term health insurance is an important option for many people. Also called temporary insurance, this is meant to help Americans who are currently without health insurance—guaranteeing coverage for a month to a year—in case of a major medical event, an unexpected illness, or an accident.

If you’re healthy and between the ages of 18 and 65, you will probably qualify for short-term coverage. It’s a great option for those who:
Life is unpredictable and things can get a little crazy. So if you wind up without health insurance but need coverage right away, temporary coverage is your best solution. It secures healthcare for you, and you won’t have to pay high premiums.
