Online Short Term Health Insurance Available for Students and Others by miQuotes.com
miQuotes.com, a leading online provider of life insurance, has added short-term health insurance and student health insurance to their long list of available insurance products.
(PRWEB) April 20, 2005 -- miQuotes.com, a leading online insurance agency,
has added short term health insurance and student health insurance to
their catalogue of available insurance products.
“The cost of medical
care is so high that no one can really afford to be without insurance,
especially when the unthinkable happens,” said Bill McEvoy, Vice President of
Marketing at miQuotes.com. “We’ve decided to offer short term health insurance products to the people who need it
most, those between jobs or recently graduated from high school or going on to
graduate school. It’s also an ideal plan for Human Resources departments to
offer to employees waiting for their employment coverage to begin, or as an
alternative to COBRA for employees that have left employment.”
The short term health insurance is available for up to a year,
providing coverage for a wide range of medical services, including: physician
services, prescriptions, X-ray and laboratory services, inpatient hospital
stays, and inpatient and outpatient surgeries. The short-term health insurance
plan is not an HMO or a PPO, so covered individuals are able to choose their
doctor and hospital.
Student health insurance through miQuotes.com is a
permanent, renewable health insurance designed specifically for college students
under the age of 30. Students are covered year-round and coverage is still
available if the student transfers to another college. Any full-time student at
a state-accepted college or university who is under the age of 30 could be
eligible for student health insurance coverage through miQuotes.com. Like the
short-term health insurance plan, the student health insurance plan is not an
HMO or PPO.
The short-term health insurance and student health insurance
plans were designed for generally healthy people who are:
• Looking for a
low-cost alternative to COBRA
• Between jobs
• Temporary or seasonal
employees
• In a waiting period before employer-sponsored coverage
begins
• On strike or laid off
• Recent college graduates
• No longer
covered under their parents’ plan
miQuotes.com will create customized
web-sites for those employers who would like to offer these types of plans to
their employees as a simple access point via their company intranet. With both
plans, coverage can begin as soon as the day following application
approval.
