Short Term Blue

Blue Cross of Idaho’s Short Term Blue offers a limited benefit program for temporary coverage. You can protect yourself and eligible dependents during those times between coverage, choosing coverage for just one month, or up to ten months. Once you enroll you may not enroll any additional dependents with the sole exception of a newborn or an adopted child.

Short Term Blue does not provide extensive, catastrophic coverage, like organ transplants, that major medical programs often cover. It is designed to cover typical, short term illness or injuries that could occur while you’re between full benefit programs.
