How These Plans Work

One of the biggest reasons people choose this coverage is simple: affordability.
Many applicants find that short term health insurance plans can cost significantly less than unsubsidized Marketplace coverage—often 30–50% lower premiums, depending on age and plan design.
How is that possible?
These plans are structured differently from ACA Marketplace plans. They are medically underwritten and designed to provide temporary coverage during transitional periods. Because of this structure, premiums are often more budget-friendly for healthy individuals and families.
With many plans, you can still choose:
It’s important to understand that these plans are not ACA-compliant and generally do not cover pre-existing conditions. However, they are designed to protect you against new, unexpected illnesses or injuries that occur while you are enrolled in Minnesota.

What Is Short Term Health Insurance Minnesota?

Short term health insurance is temporary medical coverage designed to protect you during gaps in traditional health insurance.

Unlike Marketplace plans, these plans are available year-round. You don’t have to wait for open enrollment or qualify for a special life event.

These plans are ideal for:
This coverage provides a practical bridge, protecting you financially while you transition into long-term coverage.

Who This Coverage Helps

Life doesn’t always move on a predictable timeline. Coverage gaps happen. When they do, this type of coverage can step in quickly.

Between Jobs

Lost employer coverage? Temporary insurance keeps you protected until your next benefits package begins.

Missed Open Enrollment

If you missed the ACA enrollment window and don’t qualify for a special enrollment period, this coverage may be your only immediate option.

Waiting for Employer Benefits

Many employer plans have a 30–90 day waiting period. Don’t stay uninsured during that time.

Self-Employed or Freelance

If you don’t qualify for subsidies, Marketplace premiums can be expensive. This coverage can offer a more budget-friendly alternative.

Early Retirees

Retired before 65 in Minnesota? Temporary coverage can help bridge the gap until Medicare eligibility.

What It Costs

One of the biggest advantages of this coverage is affordability.

Many plans cost significantly less than unsubsidized Marketplace plans. Because these plans are customizable, you can select deductibles, coinsurance, and benefit levels that fit your budget. You only pay for the time you need coverage.

In many states, coverage can last up to 36 months—giving you extended flexibility without long-term commitment.
