Extending Short-Term Health Insurance Coverage Duration Up to Three Years.
This legislation amends health insurance rules to allow citizens to maintain short-term limited duration insurance (STLDI) policies for up to three years, including renewals. This provides greater stability for individuals who rely on these typically lower-cost, but often less comprehensive, insurance plans. The change significantly extends the maximum period during which limited-scope coverage can be utilized.
Key points
The maximum duration for short-term limited duration health insurance (including renewals) is extended to 3 years.
Citizens can purchase limited-scope insurance for a longer period, potentially lowering monthly costs, but must verify that the policy covers necessary health services.
