Short term medical insurance is a temporary plan designed for individuals who don’t currently have health insurance. Short term policies do not cover pre-existing conditions. Short term health insurance is also not considered minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act (also called Obamacare), and even if you enroll in and maintain short term coverage you may NOT be exempt from the Shared Responsibility Payment (tax) that may otherwise apply for not having qualifying health insurance.
