Temporary Health Insurance

Can be found in the Category: Leadership - 14 Feb 2006

If you have recently lost your job or you need coverage until you start your new job, you need to look into affordable temporary health insurance. There is an alternative to the sky high costs of COBRA and other options.

When I shut down one of my companies and returned back into the workforce, I explored the options. We had a lapse in time before our new insurance would kick in with the new company I joined. Sorry to say that not all companies can afford to offer insurance from day one. Smaller companies get a deeper discount if they are willing to delay the offering until the next cycle.

So, I was about to close down my own health care coverage that I had with my company and had to wait almost two months until the new coverage went into effect.

After researching, I determined that a company, Fortis offered the temporary health insurance that I needed and it was affordable. I am sure there are others out there; however my experience with Fortis was great.

If you need temporary insurance I recommend you checking them out.

    When I sold insurance, Fortis was a cheap and reliable carrier.

    Naturally, being Massachusetts, we shut them down here.
