Yes, you can get short term health insurance in Virginia. In Virginia, short-term health plans are available for up to a year and can be renewed twice, meaning a total of three years of coverage. The plan covers preventive care and doctor visits, while some also include coverage for hospital visits, prescription drugs, lab tests and x-rays. The costs of premiums and deductibles vary by plan and are typically less expensive than traditional health insurance plans.

If you're looking to purchase short-term health insurance in Virginia, you'll want to make sure the plan you select is eligible for the state’s mandated short-term health insurance program. Each short-term plan must include at least the minimum benefits required under Virginia law. To compare coverage options and find the best plan for your needs, you can use a health insurance comparison website.

It's important to note that short-term health insurance plans are not considered “minimum essential coverage” under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). As such, you could still have to pay a federal tax penalty if you don't purchase a qualifying health plan. Be sure to talk to an insurance expert to determine if short-term health insurance is the right fit for you.
