Short-Term Health Plans: The Pros And Cons, Kaiser Health News

Open enrollment for 2016 ended January 31 for those who bought health plans from the private market or health insurance exchanges. But if you didn’t act by the deadline, are you completely out of luck? Not necessarily. If you lose your job, have a new child in the family or experience another qualifying life event, you may be eligible for a special-enrollment period during the year. Another option is a short-term health plan. These plans last less than a year, have lower premiums than regular ones and often come with beefier doctor and hospital networks. For some people — especially those who are young, healthy and don’t qualify for a tax credit from Covered California or other health...

Children’s Eligibility Differs among Benefit Programs

Children’s eligibility for certain benefits flowing from federal employment changes vary by type of benefit. Under the Federal Employees Health Benefits program, a child can be covered under self-and-family enrollment until he or she turns age 26. Children who lose coverage under your enrollment may enroll for temporary continuation of coverage for up to 36 months. Your children may also choose to convert to a private policy.

A child has a 31-day temporary extension of coverage, at no cost, for the purpose of converting to a...

Before you sign up for a short term insurance plan, educate yourself on the...

Column: The fine print of those short-term health plans favored by Trump: Don t get sick on a weekend - Los Angeles Times

Column: The fine print of those short-term health plans favored by Trump: Don’t get sick on a weekend The Trump administration’s most insidious attack on the Affordable Care Act involves its loosening of the rules covering short-term health plans. How insidious? Thanks to the patient advocacy group EverThrive Illinois, we can take a look at a typical plan currently offered in that state and 12 others by UnitedHealth Group. The fine print listing services not covered by the plan — the “exclusions” — is long and in many respects shocking. Before we get to the ugly details, some background. These plans are bare-bones plans that the ACA limits to maximum terms of 90 days, and can’t be renewed...
