Avoid a Coverage Gap and Cut Costs Without Risking Your Financial Future
You’ve left your job—or retired early—and you’re too young for Medicare. Maybe COBRA is too expensive. You need temporary health insurance to cover the gap, but you don’t want to drain your savings. Bridge health insurance can help, but only if you choose smart, cost-effective strategies.
Comparing quotes from top carriers allows you to buy the exact timeframe and coverage level you need, without getting locked into an expensive, long-term contract.

Why Not Just Use COBRA?
When you leave a job, your employer will likely offer you COBRA to extend your current health plan. However, there is a massive catch.
Since your employer is no longer paying their portion of the premium, you are responsible for 100% of the cost.
- COBRA is Expensive: Monthly premiums can easily skyrocket to $600, $800, or over $1,000 a month for a single person.
- Bridge Plans are Affordable: Short-term health insurance strips away expensive, non-essential coverage. It focuses purely on catastrophic protection.
- The Savings: Buying a bridge policy can often save you hundreds of dollars a month compared to a COBRA plan.
What You Must Know Before You Buy
Bridge policies are cheap for a reason. They are not designed to be your permanent health insurance. Before you buy, you must understand how they work:
- Pre-Existing Conditions: Unlike ACA plans, bridge policies generally do not cover pre-existing conditions.
- Routine Care is Limited: These plans are designed for unexpected accidents, ER visits, and sudden illnesses. They usually do not cover routine physicals or maternity care.
- Customizable Terms: You choose exactly how long you need the coverage. You can buy a policy for 30 days, 90 days, or sometimes up to a full year, depending on your state.
