STM policies are not Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans

STM policies do not meet ACA standards. The ACA is a Federal law that requires all major medical plans to provide specific benefits and mandates that most Americans have health plans that qualify as Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC). These rules do not apply to STM policies. Short-term medical insurance is a limited duration medical expense policy and is non-renewable. The amount of benefits provided depends on the plan selected and the premium will vary with the amount of benefits selected. STM is not a replacement for the comprehensive health insurance required under the ACA. This coverage has a pre-existing condition limitation provision.  

Short-term medical plans are not available in all states. Plan duration and state availability is determined by the state in which the applicant resides. Producers must be contracted with IHC Carrier Solutions (IHC CS) and have a valid insurance license prior to soliciting business with IAIC. If you’re not already contracted with IHC CS, get set up by visiting this website.

There is one copay for 30–90 days of coverage, two copays for 91-180 days of coverage and three copays for 180+ days of coverage. After the copay the balance of the doctor office visit charged is covered at 100 percent.
