There are a variety of reasons you might need temporary health care coverage. Some common situations include: students who have recently graduated and are between coverage from parents and an employer, employees on an extended leave of absence or who are between jobs, people looking for an alternative to COBRA, or new employees who aren’t eligible for group coverage. Short-Term Blue lets you choose from three major medical plan options with coverage periods ranging from one month to six months.

• Coverage for major hospital, medical, and surgical services
• Three deductible levels to choose from
• Coverage from one month to six months
• An additional six-month policy available, if needed
• Single, two-person, or family coverage available
