PLAN
EXCLUSIONS. . .
This
temporary health
insurance plan does not cover:
Pre-existing conditions
(including those not inquired about on the application);
dental or optical treatments; routine physical exams;
normal pregnancy or childbirth; well child care;
expenses incurred outside the United States, its
possessions, territories, or Canada. Other exclusions
are listed in detail in the policy you will receive when
you purchase short term medical insurance.
When
does coverage begin?
Your coverage will begin
at 12:01 the day of your approved effective date,
provided the application received is complete, meets the
requirements for acceptance and the full initial premium
is received. The approved effective date is the
requested effective date on the application once you
complete the buy online process.
Two
convenient payment options:
Most short term health
insurance programs will make the applicant pay the
entire amount of the premium for the policy up front.
With Assurant health insurance, you get the option of
either paying for the entire amount up front, or making
a monthly payment.
Single payment option: This is
ideal if you know the exact number of days that your
coverage is needed. The minimum number of days you may
apply for is 30 days, the maximum is 365 days. No
refunds are available after the 10-day free look period.
Monthly payment option: If you
are unsure of how long you will need coverage, this
option would be the best for you. The "pay as you go"
option gives you the flexibility to continue coverage
for as long as it is needed, or simply stop payments and
discontinue the plan once your temporary health
insurance need ends.
Pay with either Master Card or
Visa, automatic charge to checking account, or by check:
If you pay your initial 35 day
premium by MasterCard or VISA, each additional 30 days
of coverage will be automatically charged to
your
account for up to 365 days. If your temporary medical
insurance need ends prior to this date, simply call
1-800-800-5453 and the automatic account charge will be
stopped. Seven day advance notice is required to ensure
future account charges are stopped.
If you choose to pay monthly by
the automatic charge to checking account, you must
submit the first 35 day premium via check along with a
separate voided check. All subsequent monthly payments
will be automatically debited from your checking account
for up to 365 days. If your short term health insurance
needs end prior to this date, simply call 1-800-800-5453
and we will stop the automatic account charge. Seven day
advance notice is required to ensure future account
charges are stopped.
If you pay your initial 35 day
premium by check, you will be sent a sheet of payment
coupons shortly after you receive your policy. Each
coupon is for an additional 30 days of coverage.
PURCHASING AN
ADDITIONAL PLAN:
This short term health
insurance plan is not renewable. However, if your
temporary health insurance need continues beyond your
policy period, you may apply for a new plan under the
following circumstances:
- No claims were submitted while
covered under a previous short term medical insurance
plan, for you or any member of your family who is to be
covered.
- There has been no significant
change in your health.
Any previous or current health
condition or symptom will be considered a pre-existing
medical condition that will not be covered under a new
plan.
There
is no continuous coverage between plans - therefore your
new plan will not provide benefits for any condition or
symptom which began during a previous plan. In addition,
no benefits are available for any period in which you
are not covered by our temporary medical insurance plan.
To obtain an additional plan, you must complete a new
enrollment form.
Premium
Refunds:
If you are not 100
percent satisfied with the plan, you may return the
policy and identification cards within 10 days of
delivery for a premium refund. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
