The Caveats: Short Term Medical plans stand outside the new requirements of the ACA. You must answer health questions and coverage may be declined. Guaranteed option available. Pre-existing conditions - any treatments, diagnosis, consultations - within the last 12 months may not covered. Preventative care, Rx coverage, maternity, mental health and other medical treatments may not be covered.
Individual Mandate: Additional federal income tax due if not covered by a plan with minimum essential benefits. These plans do not meet the requirements for coverage under the ACA. So you may be subject to additional federal income tax when you file your 2017 tax return. To get an estimate of this: ACA Penalty Calculator
