Short Term Health Insurance Plans
Is a Short-Term Health Insurance Plan Right for You?
If you can’t afford an Obamacare plan, have missed the open-enrollment cutoff period to apply, or need coverage for a short period before you become eligible for other health care coverage you can consider a short-term medical plan to provide you with insurance protection. Compared to Obamacare, short-term medical plans typically require less premium but also provide less coverage.
In addition, short-term medical plans will not help you avoid any tax penalties you may be subject to for not carrying health coverage.
At Decision Tree Financial, we believe that you should own health insurance to protect yourself financially from risks that could cause you great financial harm. There is no doubt that a medical condition can happen at anytime requiring $10,000 – $100,000 or even $1,000,000 in claims. Short-term medical plans help you transfer the risk of having a medical condition that could cause you and your family a significant financial burden and do accept applications year-round.
