What’s Happening with Short-Term Healthcare Plans?

Written by OneShare Health | Dec 27, 2024 2:00:00 PM

The short-term healthcare landscape is evolving, and as a Producer, it’s essential to understand how recent changes might impact your clients. A new federal regulation has capped the duration of short-term healthcare plans at just four months. While these plans were once a convenient option for individuals navigating temporary gaps, this shift has introduced challenges that can disrupt continuity and add stress.

Understanding the Changes

For years, short-term healthcare plans were a popular choice for clients in transition—whether between jobs, waiting for Medicare, or exploring other long-term solutions. With the new four-month limit, your clients may now face frequent plan changes and potential gaps in coverage. The need to re-enroll repeatedly creates unnecessary hassle, financial strain, and interruptions in access to care or services.

For Producers, this presents an opportunity to offer clients something more flexible and dependable.

 

What These Changes Mean for Your Clients

Clients relying on short-term plans are now confronted with:

  • Inconvenience: Repeated enrollment every few months can disrupt planning and peace of mind.
  • Added Stress: The process of constantly researching and switching plans is overwhelming.
  • Potential Gaps: Even short gaps in coverage can leave individuals unprepared for unforeseen medical needs.

This is where you, as a Producer, can step in with a better option: Catastrophic365 from OneShare Health.
