Connecticut short-term health insurance plans were created to provide temporary health insurance coverage to anyone who is between jobs, suffering a reduction in work hours, recently graduate or just simply waiting for permanent health insurance to take effect. If you are not certain that your uninsured state will be temporary, short-term health insurance is not for you. Short-term health insurance plans tend to run between 1-6 months.

Connecticut short-term health insurance plans do not provide comprehensive medical coverage. Instead, short-term health insurance plans provide health care coverage in the event of an unexpected illness or accidental injury. Short-term health insurance plans will not cover costs associated with routine health care, preventive health care and immunizations or dental and eye care. Moreover, short-term health insurance plans provide health insurance coverage for a limited time frame and once that period has passed, it may be difficult to purchase additional, permanent health insurance plans depending on the condition of your health.
