Q: I have a Secure STM policy with a $5000 deductible that will expire next month. My job does not provide health benefits until I have been employed for two years and I have more than a year to go. I want the best value policy that covers doctor's and OB/GYN visits but need to keep the price under $100 per month.

A: You made a smart decision last time and your situation remains the same. Secure STM is the nation's highest quality short term medical insurance and you can apply for another policy at the same terms and price. This policy does cover doctor's visits and state mandates require that the specified PAP smear and mammogram be provided without a deductible or co-pay. You already have the best available coverage at the lowest possible price, so just go back to FreedomBenefits.com and apply for a new policy to start when your current policy expires.
