Medical Insurance between school breaks?

Question

My daughter will graduate from college this summer and thinks to take a year break before going to graduate school. She is currently under my insurance policy, which covers for child who is independent and under age 21 or a full time student under age 25. My daughter will be 22, so if she is not in school, she will not be covered. I am not sure she can easily find full time job that provides the insurance since she just wants to work for a short time. If not, what options does she have?Is there a short term insurance avaliable for the situation like this?

Answer 1

Yes, this is exactly what short term health insurance is for. There are also student insurance plans available that might cover her during the break. Visit a local independent agent that works with all the major companies to see what plans are available in your area. There is no extra charge using an agent.
