ABOUT

Built on trust and local expertise

What our great clients say about us.

I cannot recommend Melinda enough!

“I cannot recommend Melinda highly enough! Health insurance can feel overwhelming and confusing, but Melinda makes the entire process simple, clear, and stress free. Also, she genuinely cares, she isn’t just helping you pick a plan, she’s helping you protect your health, your family, and your financial future.”

What is Short-Term Medical insurance?

Short-Term Medical insurance is temporary health coverage designed to fill gaps when someone needs insurance for a limited period of time. These plans provide basic medical protection for unexpected illnesses or injuries.

Does Short-Term Medical insurance cover pre-existing conditions?

Generally, no. Most Short-Term Medical plans do not cover pre-existing conditions and may review medical history during the application process.

What are the different parts of Medicare?

Medicare coverage is divided into several parts:

  • Part A – Hospital insurance
  • Part B – Medical insurance (doctor visits, outpatient care)
  • Part C – Medicare Advantage plans offered by private insurers
  • Part D – Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage

Medicare programs are overseen by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

What is the ACA Marketplace?

The ACA Marketplace is a federal platform where individuals and families can compare and enroll in health insurance plans, often with financial assistance or premium subsidies.

Should I consider supplemental insurance with a Short-Term plan?

Many people add supplemental coverage such as:

  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Hospital indemnity plans
  • Accident insurance
  • Disability income protection

These plans can help reduce out-of-pocket costs if an unexpected medical event occurs.

Important tip: Short-Term Medical plans are intended as temporary protection, not a permanent replacement for comprehensive health insurance.
Who typically uses Short-Term Medical insurance?

Short-Term Medical plans are commonly used by people who are:

  • Between jobs
  • Waiting for employer benefits to begin
  • Recently graduated from college
  • Self-employed and seeking temporary coverage
  • Early retirees not yet eligible for Medicare
  • Waiting for the next Open Enrollment period
