Q: short-term health insurance options in NY
asked by: hada19 on August 19th, 2008
New User, Becoming EHEALTHy
My grad-school insurance runs out tomorrow (8/20), and my work insurance won't kick in until Sept. 1. I figured I could sign up for short-term insurance in the interim, but now, admittedly at the last minute, I discover New York State doesn't offer short-term insurance.

Can I sign up in another state? My parents live in Washington State, and my grandma lives in NJ. I could use either of their addresses. Will it work?

What are my other options?

I wouldn't sweat it, personally. I'm a 33 year old woman and have been without medical insurance for almost 3 years (don't tell my mom) without incident. I imagine that 2 WEEKS won't make much of a difference in lapse of coverage. I wish you good health!!!
