Short Term Medical


What happens to your health coverage while you're in-between jobs, become a seasonal or temporary employee, or are waiting for your new employer sponsored plan to kick in? AFBA has teamed-up with Fortis Insurance Company to offer short-term medical plans that provide coverage when there is a gap in regular coverage. Going without health coverage, even if for a short period of time, can be a gamble; and not only because of your health, but it can also cause a financial strain. An illness or health emergency can happen at any time and a short-term medical plan can be the coverage you need.

What is Short Term Medical?

  • Affordable short-term health plans that provide coverage while you are in-between jobs, waiting for new employer coverage to start, or a seasonal or temporary employee.
  • Depending on the state you reside, plans are available for 30 to 365 days.
  • Lower cost alternative to COBRA plans.

Who is eligible for Short Term Medical?

  • Recent college graduates no longer covered under parent's plan.
  • Seasonal employees.
  • People in-between jobs.
  • Within a waiting period for employer-sponsored coverage.
  • Dependent children.

Why choose Short Term Medical?

  • Minimized risk - coverage would help to protect you against any unexpected medical illness or accidents.
  • No HMO or PPO - you decide your preferred doctors and hospital.

Can I afford Short Term Medical?

  • Short Term Medical provides temporary health plan coverage at affordable rates.
  • You chose your deductible and length of coverage.
