Bridge coverage between jobs, after college, or while waiting for a new plan to start.

Who it's for: People in transition who need coverage for 1–12 months and are healthy.

What you get

  • Coverage can start as soon as the next day
  • Lower monthly premiums than ACA plans
  • Not ACA-compliant — pre-existing conditions are typically excluded
  • Best as a temporary gap solution, not long-term coverage
