Pivot Health is a leading distributor of short-term limited-duration medical plans in many states, with options from budget-friendly designs to richer copay and prescription-friendly forms.

STLDI duration overview

Federal STLDI duration rules (illustrative)

For policies sold or issued on or after Sept 1, 2024, federal STLDI rules cap initial term length and total duration—including renewals. States may impose additional limits.

Illustration only. Policies issued before Sept 1, 2024 may follow earlier rules until they end. Enforcement and state elections can evolve—confirm with your agent.

Plan smart

Short-term fills a window—not a lifetime strategy.

Pair STM with a plan for what happens when the policy ends: Marketplace Open/Special Enrollment, employer coverage, or another qualifying option.

Guidance

When Pivot STM is commonly considered

What STM still may not cover

  • Guaranteed renewal like major medical
  • Full pediatric dental or certain preventive mandates like Marketplace plans

Before you apply

  • List prescriptions and doctors you cannot lose access to
  • Confirm maximum duration and renewal rules for your state
  • Ask about hospital indemnity or accident supplements if you want extra cash benefits
