Short-Term Medical Insurance

Coverage for the time you need it.

Alpha Lee Insurance understands that life and work can change quickly. Short-term medical insurance may offer temporary coverage when you need a bridge between health plans, such as during a job transition, while waiting for other coverage to begin, or after losing access to a previous plan.

These plans are designed for limited-time use and may help cover certain medical expenses such as doctor visits, urgent care, emergency services, and hospitalization, depending on the plan selected. Because short-term medical insurance is not the same as ACA-compliant coverage, benefits may be more limited and can vary by carrier and plan.

Short-term medical insurance may be a good option for people looking for temporary coverage and lower monthly premiums. However, these plans typically do not cover pre-existing conditions and may not include many of the benefits found in ACA major medical plans, such as prescription drugs, maternity care, preventive care, or mental health services.

If you need temporary health coverage, we can help you review whether a short-term medical plan may be a good fit for your situation.

Important Information

Short-term medical insurance is a limited-duration policy and is not comprehensive health coverage. It is different from ACA-compliant coverage available through HealthCare.gov or other major medical plans.

Compared with ACA plans, short-term medical insurance:

  • May not cover pre-existing conditions.
  • May offer fewer benefits.
  • May not cover all essential health benefits.
  • May not include federal financial assistance.
  • May have different out-of-pocket limits and coverage rules.

ACA-compliant health plans:

  • Must cover pre-existing conditions.
  • Must include essential health benefits.
  • Must meet federal standards for comprehensive coverage.
  • May qualify for federal premium and cost-sharing assistance.
