Short-Term Health Insurance Plans May Expand

Short-term limited-duration health insurance (STLDI) plans could be making a comeback.
The current four-month cap may be lifted, opening the door to longer, low-cost coverage options.

What to know:

  • Lower premiums, but fewer benefits — often no coverage for preexisting conditions, maternity, or mental health

  • Healthy individuals may switch, which could raise premiums for traditional plans

  • Employers could gain budget-friendly options, but coverage gaps can be costly

If these plans expand, the key will be balancing savings with protection.
