Persons over 64 but not yet 65 can save on health insurance costs by purchasing short term medical coverage until Medicare begins. Medicare is required to accept individuals having any medical condition effective the first day of the month in which they turn age 65. Many individuals not yet qualifying for Medicare can save money with temporary health insurance during that last year before Medicare.

Typically, temporary medical coverage is used as a bridge from one health insurance plan to another, such as when a person leaves one job and has not yet qualified for the group plan at a new employer or when a person “graduates” from their parent’s plan but is not yet employed. Individuals approaching Medicare age, transitioning from their present permanent health coverage to the permanent health coverage provided under Medicare, can save by switching to a short term (less than one-year) health insurance plan. For most, the cost of coverage under a short term policy is substantially less than the cost of regular permanent coverage.

It’s not for everyone. Short term plans can only be in force for six months up to one year, depending on the state of residency. Those who have pre-existing conditions will not have coverage for those conditions under a short term plan. However, if there are no pre-existing conditions at the time of enrollment or if pre-existing conditions are minor and inexpensive, the savings can be great.
