Will You Add? - The Short Term Medical Plan Article #1 of Series Health Plan Options
Printing and Promotional Products used to be divided into specialties. Boy has life changed not only do you need to be multi-facited but you better be multi-dimensional. The printing field up until recently used to be dominated by the large companies. A Moore Business Form or Supreme Envelopes had sales people who were given thirty to fifty accounts. All they had to do was know their product well, put out fires and write orders. They would drop into their accounts every couple of weeks, take their clients out to lunch, then write up an order. This reminds me of a recent Visa commercial, Oh if life was so easy.Today large companies have downsized, their best sales people h

The Plan:
A little known policy lingers out there you may or may not be aware of, and that is the Short Term Medical plan. The plan is self explanatory as it is set for a period of time. The plans that we service go from anywhere between 30 days all the way up to 360 days of coverage. That means that you can have coverage for a month or two or even six months up to a year, the choice is yours. Short term medical plans are temporary plans and are not meant to be permanent. Think about it this way in that you don’t have health insurance doesn’t mean you don’t or won’t have health problems. The short term plan is a way to get coverage for a temporary fixed amount of time.
Why Short Term Medical?
Short term medical can ease the pain of not having health insurance for different reasons. A popular reason why people use STM is because they are in-between jobs. The person had coverage here and is now unemployed, the insurance stays with the job, now they are without coverage. Maybe you are in a waiting period of 30-90 days but do not want to take the risk of not having any coverage at all. Waiting periods occur with group coverage and the employer basically wants to make sure you are worth it to offer medical coverage to.
When you have children that are reaching of age to where they come off your plan. Usually this is when the dependent is going off to college or graduating college. You want your dependents to have health insurance but don’t know what is offered in that state or maybe the health coverage does not travel well. The STM is a viable option for those in need and it is probably ranked number 2 in why the STM is used.
So many Americans are part time or temporarily employed as well as laid off and health coverage is not available to them. The STM is a way to get coverage fast and not have the burden of huge premiums lingering over their head. Remember the STM is for temporary coverage just like the person is temporarily unemployed, when you get on a job that offers coverage you just simply cancel.

When I was first introduced into the Network Marketing industry, I was 22 years old and I lived in a 900 square foot rental home conveniently located behind a tavern. I distinctly remember one of the first nuggets of wisdom that my upline sponsor gave me."Sponsor Up".Next, I remember thinking to myself, "Where do I find "up" around here?". There was no "up" in my sphere of influence. Most of my friends were in college and no one was really established and when I asked my sponsor how I was supposed to sponsor up the socio-economic chain, he didn't really have an answer.Things are different today. I'm older and I work from home in a nice neighborhood. My sphe

In troubled times – be it war, a shaky economy, or political uncertainty – it's harder than ever to engage your audiences. There's just so much on everyone's mind.So how do you keep communication going, as it must, during this time?Communications experts tell us that nonprofits (and other organizations) should expand their communication efforts during war and economic downturn, with an increased focus on fact-driven messages. A recent article in PR Week reports results of a survey of journalists nationwide who almost unanimously urge organizations to "communicate factually, frequently, and consistently." "Use this time wisely," say t

You hear quite a bit these days about credit repair. While most of us are in need of it, repairing damaged credit can be a daunting task. Not many people have perfect credit scores. Unfortunately, the majority of the populace falls into the category of past due bills and overdrawn bank accounts. Debts become marks on our credit report. While they are not written in indelible ink they certainly are not easy to erase.Balancing a tightrope is easier than balancing a checkbook for some of us. If we don’t record our financial transactions right away, it is easy to forget to do so later. Often a small error in calculation can be overlooked only to later resurface as a larger pr

When you advertise what are you really trying to do?Firstly you have to get noticed amongst a sea of other advertisers.Then after gaining their attention you have to convince them to trust you and take the appropriate action to become a customer. If it all sounds a little tedious or too much like hard work there is an alternative that might just free up a little of that precious commodity "your time".What if instead of advertising to find customers you could somehow get customers to find you?And what if this methodology cost you nothing except two minutes of your time? You'd be more than a little interested I bet!I'm sure most of you are aware
COBRA is the alternative when you leave a job, get fired etc. but it can be expensive. If you have preexisting health problems, COBRA is probably your only alternative as you can roll that condition into an individual policy after 18 months of coverage. If you are a healthy individual, you don’t need to go on COBRA you could instead while looking for another job pick up a short term plan to get you through till your plan at your new job is available to you.
How it Works:
Typically the short term medical plan gives you the freedom of choosing any doctor or hospital and has a deductible for individual as well as the family. Once the deductible is met, then the plan kicks in up to a specified amount such as 2 million dollars. You will have an option of coinsurance benefits as well; this is the 80/20 split or 50/50 split. The coinsurance is limited to either the first $5000 or $10000 respectively depending on which plan is offered and with which company. After that is met, the plan should pay 100% of covered expenses. Pretty simple: you go to the hospital and pay the first $250 then depending on which plan you selected it will pay 80% of the next $5000 in charges which leaves you with $1000 and 100% after that. So if you had a whopping bill of $15000 of covered expenses your bill would be $1250!
Qualifications
The qualifications to apply for STM plans are limited. Typically anyone under 65 years of age and children under 19 or 25 if full time student qualify. There are limited questions with the application process, for example 7-9 questions to answer. Height and weight is not a factor in most plans, so if you are struggling with weight problems in the meantime you would qualify for short term medical plan. Be advised that these plans do not cover preexisting conditions and if one of them says they do, make sure you read it carefully. You can even just get your child covered maybe before they are eligible for your group plan or state plans.
To sum it all up the short term medical plan can be a significant tool for anyone to use. It can cover that gap in coverage for whatever reason is available to you. It is not an alternative to major medical coverage as it is only for temporary use, but when that coverage is not available to you this is an option for you. Many people do not know of the existence of these plans or are touted other MiniMed plans which can do more harm than good.
