The insurance industry continues to evolve.  New products are introduced… some succeed, some fail.  One product, however, that continues to survive the cyclical nature of the industry is short term health insurance.

Perceived as probably one of best values in health insurance short term medical insurance offers an affordable solution for many consumers and situations.  Some of the more common needs include college students and recent graduates, young adults who are no longer eligible on their parents’ plan, employees transitioning between jobs or waiting for group health benefits to kick in, those seeking an affordable alternative to COBRA coverage, individuals not yet eligible for Medicare coverage, and part time employees.

Recently MultiNational Underwriters, an Indianapolis based company, has created a new category that may be added to this list… new residents of the United States.  This company very recently started marketing a plan called Amigo Medical.  The design of this plan provides anyone who is legally residing in the United States to apply for coverage without providing proof of citizenship, and without restrictions on prior length of established U.S. residency.

In the past I have talked with many consumers who did not have an option for health insurance because either they had not lived in the U.S. long enough to meet the residency requirements of health providers or because they did not yet have a security number.  This innovative short term medical plan also offers a copay benefit which is virtually unheard of with short term medical plans.  Click here for a free quote and to learn more.
