Limitations to Communicate

Pre-Existing Conditions Not Covered

Short-term plans typically exclude coverage for medical conditions diagnosed or treated before the policy effective date. Always disclose this clearly to clients during the application process.

Not ACA-Compliant

These plans do not meet Affordable Care Act minimum essential coverage standards. Clients cannot use them to satisfy any ACA coverage requirement and may still owe a penalty in states that have one.

Limited Benefit Caps May Apply

Many short-term plans have per-incident or annual dollar caps on benefits. Review the specific plan's Schedule of Benefits with clients so there are no surprises at claim time.

Not Available in All States

Short-term medical plan regulations vary significantly by state. Some states prohibit or heavily restrict these products. Confirm availability and permitted term lengths for your client's state before quoting.
