eHealth allows consumers to find short-term health insurance plans in their area. By providing their zip code, age, gender, and details about their covered family members, consumers will be presented with multiple plan options and the opportunity to compare them. Plans are available from companies such as UnitedHealthcare, LifeShield National, and National General. Low-deductible with low or no coinsurance options are available, as are less expensive plans with high deductibles and low maximums. Short-term insurance is designed to only be used temporarily. Once the plan expires, consumers must reapply again, being aware they may be denied or that any conditions they received treatment for under the previous plan would now be considered pre-existing conditions and would not be covered by the new plan.

In general, plans purchased through eHealth do not appear to charge any application fees. Monthly premiums run the gamut of costs, depending on the coverage limits and the number of people being covered under the plan. Consumers who search for policies through this website can find plans with a full range of coverage options, ensuring that each consumer will be able to select the plan that best fits their needs, according to their health status and financial situation.
