Where To Get Temporary Health Insurance? 
Temporary health insurance -LRB- also known as `` short-term '' coverage -RRB- is available from an experienced and reputable broker that represents all of the major carriers . For example , when I am discussing short-term plans with customers , often they only want benefits for a few months -LRB- possibly more -RRB- . In this situation , a short-term plan is ideal . Typically , most of the major companies offer this type of plan . Rates are VERY cheap and policies can be approved instantly or within 24 hours . Although pre-existing conditions are not covered , if you are unemployed , waiting for Medicare or other work insurance to begin , or a student that has just graduated , you may want to consider this form of coverage .
