Temporary
health insurance is just that, a plan for someone who needs health
insurance for short term. It should not be used as a substitute
for a regular Florida health insurance plan.
While
the coverage is excellent and they will pay claims for your medical
expenses, once it ends, it may not be renewable.
For
example, if you had a heart attack while on the plan and then a
few months later the plan terminate, you would not be able to renew
it. Worse yet, you would not be eligible for any other health insurance
plans. Not in Florida.
So,
if you need health insurance for a few months and know that you
will then have coverage, these plans will work well for you. Otherwise,
call me about a regular Florida major medical plan.
An
important note: If you apply online you will either use a credit
card, have the premium taken out of your checking account each month
or pre-pay.
If you do not use a credit card, they will be waiting for a check
for the initial premium.
Many
of you apply online and never send in the check. A credit card is the fastest and easiest to use.
