Can I renew this type of health insurance coverage?

If you need coverage for longer, you may be able to apply for another Short Term insurance plan. However, for any subsequent plan, whatever you received treatment for under a preceding plan will be considered a preexisting condition.

Does Short Term health insurance provide coverage for preexisting conditions?

No. In most cases Short Term insurance plans do not cover preexisting conditions, which depending on your state’s definition would mean something you received diagnosis or treatment for within the last 2 to 5 years. If you are in this situation, you may want to explore other options or see if you can extend your current insurance plan.

This has tax has been dropped to zero as of 2019.
