10 life situations when short term health plans are needed:

  1. Early Retirees
    Pre-65-year old retirees who do not yet qualify for Medicare but have too much household income to qualify for a subsidy, can find an option through short term medical.
  2. Divorce
    More than 825,000 individuals divorced in 2017. In fact, statistics indicate around 115,000 women lose their health insurance in the months following divorce. Short term health plans can be a great bridge for just 30 days or for multiple months.
  3. Too rich for Medicaid, too poor for subsidies
    2.4 million people don't make enough money to qualify for a tax credit to purchase insurance on the ACA exchanges, yet they make too much money to qualify for Medicaid benefits. Short term is a good fit for low cost coverage.
  4. COBRA
    When an individual enrolls in COBRA, the individual is responsible for the
    entire insurance premium plus administrative fees. Short term medical is an affordable alternative to COBRA, costing about 50% less.
  5. Employer waiting period
    Most companies have a 90-day waiting period before health insurance benefits begin. A temporary short term health plan helps bridge the gap for workers
    between jobs and stuck in a new employee waiting period.
  6. Moving to a new state
    In 2016, 5.5 million Americans moved to a new state. But individual major medical plans do not move with them. A short term health plan can serve as a temporary solution and provide immediate coverage for an unplanned illness or accident.
  7. Joining “gig” economy
    About 7.4% of new entrepreneurs launch their own companies each year. Short term medical can start in 24-hours and cost about 50% less than traditional health insurance.
  8. Freedom from doctor network
    In 2017, 1.9 million individuals with an ACA plan only had one insurance carrier to choose from with restricted provider networks. Pivot Health short term has no
    network restrictions – all providers are accepted.
  9. College students
    Students can stay on their parent’s health plan until age 26, but not all insurance companies cover students attending college out of state. It could be less expensive to enroll the student in a short term plan for the academic year.
  10. Aging off parent’s insurance plan
    Approximately 10,000 people turn 26 a day. Young adults who are no longer dependent eligible on their parent’s plan may not have access to employer coverage. Short term can be an excellent bridge to coverage.
