Humana Expanding Short Term Health Insurance

By , About.com GuideFebruary 9, 2010

Follow me on:

Humana recently announced they would extend their short term health insurance to additional states. They originally offered it in a handful of states. If you are in need of short term health insurance you can contact Humana directly to see if their short term health insurance is available in your area.

There are some things to be aware about short term health insurance. Short term health insurance generally will not cover pre-existing conditions and is primarily for coverage of any accidents or illnesses until one can obtain permanent health insurance coverage. It can sometimes be expensive, especially if you want a short term health insurance policy that has a low deductible. Make sure you ask for discounts for paying the policy in full, which usually is a maximum of 6 months. Humana offers a 20% discount for full payment up front.
