Fortis Health Promotes Short-Term Medical Policy - WITH CORRECTION

NU Online News Service, Aug. 10, 10:15 a.m. – Fortis Health, Milwaukee, has started a new campaign to promote its short-term medical insurance program, which provides coverage for periods of one to six months.

Fortis Health says the coverage could be especially helpful for workers who are between jobs, and workers who are acting as free-lancers or independent contractors while in between permanent jobs with benefits.

Short-term coverage is also appropriate for college students who lose coverage through their parents’ plans after graduation, new employees waiting for their employers’ coverage to take effect, seasonal employees, and early retirees who are waiting for Medicare coverage to start, Fortis Health says.
