If you’re curious about health insurance alternatives in Arizona, looking into short-term plans may be worth your time. With an average premium of $111 per month,* short-term health insurance in Arizona can be an affordable option. And if you miss the ACA’s open enrollment period, this temporary health insurance can be a good opportunity to get yourself some coverage.
It is important to note that short-term plans are not fully comprehensive and are not required to meet the standards of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This means that people with pre-existing conditions can be denied coverage. Essential services, such as maternity care and mental health, may also not be included.1 With that in mind, it’s a smart idea to review the benefits of Arizona short-term health insurance with HealthMarkets before you purchase a plan to make sure it’s the right plan for you.
