Here's what you need to know

TriTerm medical coverage will protect you against a major financial burden in the case of a medical emergency. These plans are meant to temporarily bridge the gap between long-term, comprehensive coverage. 

They are different from comprehensive coverage offered through ACA-compliant plans, as they have a lower level of coverage and typically higher out-of-pocket costs. 

TriTerm plans vary by your needs but typically last between 6 to 12 months in length, although in some cases the coverage can be extended up to 3 years.

 

 

IMPORTANT: This is a short-term, limited-duration policy, NOT comprehensive health coverage

 

This is a temporary limited policy that has fewer benefits and Federal protections than other types of health insurance options, like those on HealthCare.gov.

What are the different types of TriTerm medical coverage?

 

Depending on your state, you may have different options for TriTerm medical coverage, including TriTerm or TriTerm coverage.


TriTerm medical plans are typically restricted to a shorter term (between 1 and 6 months) and only cover a few key expenses, such as: ER & hospital coverage, doctors, labs, and urgent care. They will not cover pre-existing conditions.

TriTerm medical plans have the same benefits as short-term plans but can often last up to 3 years in length and offer enhanced and/or additional benefits such as more prescription coverage and preventive care. However, not all states allow for TriTerm coverage.
