Short Term Medical
We realize that many of our students have a need for Short Term Medical insurance. In response to that need, we have formed strategic alliances with Markel Insurance Company. No one is immune to accidents. Accidents happen and you want to make sure you and your family are covered.
Short term health insurance plans provide you with coverage for a limited period of time, and may be an ideal solution for those between jobs, an alternative to COBRA, temporary worker, or those waiting for other health insurance to start. Typically, short-term plans offer coverage up to six months, although some plans may offer coverage up to 12 months. If you need coverage for longer than 12 months you should research a permanent health insurance plan. However you will need a short term health plan to cover you for the couple of months that it takes to underwrite a permanent plan.
If you are a recent college graduate, between jobs, waiting for employer group coverage, laid off, on strike, or a seasonal employee, you may be interested in one of these plans:
