4649 - FORTIS FOR TEMPORARY HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS

Ever had a new employee who needed temporary medical insurance during the waiting period on your group health insurance? How about an employee leaving your employment who is not eligible for COBRA or state continuation benefits? Or an employee's college-age son or daughter who no longer is eligible for your group health benefits? Now, coverage may be available for many of these situations. Fortis Insurance Company, one of the nation's leaders in short term medical insurance, can help fill the gap. Some restrictions and pre-existing conditions that are explained in the brochure apply for employees who want coverage, but the Fortis Short Term Medical Insurance Plan can help fill the gap in many situations.
