Short-term health insurance plans California are designed to protect our great residents against unforeseen accidents or illnesses, rather than to provide comprehensive coverage, and, as such, typically do not include coverage for preventive care, physicals, and immunizations, dental or vision care.  Short-term health insurance plans California provide you with coverage for a limited period of time, and may be an excellent solution for those between jobs or waiting for other health insurance to begin. Typically, short term health plans offer coverage up to six months, although some plans may offer coverage up to 12 months. If you think you'll need coverage for a longer period of time, you may want to look at a standard, longer-term health insurance option like our individual and family health insurance plans at Insurnow.  If you have an existing medical condition, you may want to research whether you can extend your current insurance as pre existing conditions will not be covered by a short term health plan. Employer sponsored insurance or group insurance can be extended under a government-regulated option commonly referred to as a COBRA plan, which you should seriously consider if you have a pre existing medical condition.  Short term health plans California are often times easier application processes and requirements but are not available to you once your full time plan kicks in.  There are specific HIPAA rules that must be followed when purchasing a short term health plan.  Insurnow can assist you with a fast, easy quote for short term health plans California; let us help you today.
