Whether you’re in between jobs, just out of school, or waiting for your new employer’s group coverage to take effect, Insta-Care can take a load off your mind by providing quick, comprehensive health care coverage that bridges the gap.

Looking for an alternative to COBRA?
Continuing coverage through a former employer (called COBRA) is expensive and may not be your only option. Insta-Care contract rates are surprisingly affordable and may be a better choice for you unless you need care for a preexisting condition. Minnesota state law lets you have 365 days of short-term coverage in any 555-day period, so you can renew your Insta-Care coverage if you need it for longer than your initial coverage period.

Who can apply for Insta-Care?
You and your family are eligible to apply for Insta-Care unless any of these conditions apply:
  • You are a foreign citizen and don’t have an alien registration card
  • You’ve been turned down for coverage by any health plan company
  • You are currently confined to a hospital or other care facility
  • You are pregnant
  • You plan to add any dependents to this coverage by birth or adoption
  • You are eligible for other health care coverage or insurance (except COBRA)
  • You live outside of Minnesota
Insta-Care does not cover children younger than 90 days old. If a contract is issued to someone who is ineligible, it will be void and any payment will be refunded.

How Insta-Care works
It’s simple.
  • You pay for your medical expenses until you reach the deductible you’ve selected.
  • After that, Insta-Care pays 80 percent of eligible expenses and you pay 20 percent, until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum.
  • Then, Insta-Care pays 100 percent of eligible expenses
