Hi there! We’re in Oregon, my daughter is a college student and is enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), which is the state’s Medicaid plan. She applied and was accepted into a summer student research program at Baylor College of Medicine this summer, and part of her accepting the position is that she needs a certain level of health insurance coverage. Needless to say, OHP doesn’t provide that coverage outside of Oregon.
I’m totally a newb to this sort of thing, as I rarely leave the state, and my personal health insurance is provided by my employer (my wife is on a marketplace plan provided by an Oregon-based health insurance provider that has minimal coverage for anything beyond emergencies outside of the state).
Does some sort of temporary health insurance coverage for this type of situation exist? She basically needs 10 weeks of health coverage in Texas (the length of the program), but I don’t want to commit to paying for a plan for the rest of the year for her when it’ll be worthless when she gets back to Oregon.
