Short-Term Health Insurance Needs
A short-term health insurance need can occur for a number of reasons.
You could be temporarily laid off, between jobs, a recent college graduate or not yet eligible for new employer’s group coverage. Whatever your reason, it’s important to consider all your options. Don’t automatically assume that a so-called “short term” plan is your best choice.
Individual Plans From Aetna Can Help Meet Your Short-Term Health Insurance Needs
An affordable health insurance plan from Aetna is not technically a “short term” plan. But it can be a choice when you have a temporary health insurance need.
With your Aetna plan, you can choose your desired balance of affordable costs and quality coverage. That’s not a sure thing with a short-term plan. Short-term plans often provide more limited benefits and coverage compared to an individual health insurance plan.
What’s more, short-term plans are designed to expire after a predetermined time period (typically 6 or 12 months) and they are not renewable. So if you want to continue coverage after the expiration date you must reapply. When you do, injuries or illnesses that occurred while the initial policy was in force may be viewed as pre-existing conditions and may not be covered under the new policy.
Get Affordable Health Insurance From Aetna
Aetna plans give you more flexibility in meeting your health insurance needs – you can keep them for as long or short as needed. Which makes sense, because life can be hard to predict. And if your short term insurance needs last longer than expected, you can simply keep enjoying the outstanding service, affordability and coverage that has made Aetna one of the most admired insurers nationwide.
