Bridge coverage that can start as soon as tomorrow — for the gap between jobs, plans, or enrollment periods.
Not a government marketplace. Health Enrollment Center is operated by Sprinter Insurance Agency LLC.
Nevada runs its own marketplace, Nevada Health Link, so residents enroll through the state rather than HealthCare.gov. For 2026 it added the new public-option 'Battle Born State Plans,' which made up about 10% of enrollments — standardized coverage meant to hold down costs. Roughly 104,000 Nevadans selected a medical plan for 2026, and about 82% received a premium subsidy.
Short-term medical plans are designed to cover a temporary gap: you're between jobs, waiting for a new employer plan to begin, missed Open Enrollment, or aging off a parent's policy mid-year. They can typically be issued in a day and cost far less than COBRA or an unsubsidized marketplace plan.
The trade-off matters, and we'll always say it plainly: short-term plans are not ACA-compliant. They do not have to cover pre-existing conditions, and they usually exclude maternity and some prescriptions. They are not minimum essential coverage. For a healthy person who needs 60–90 days of protection against a major accident or hospitalization, they can be a smart, cheap bridge. For someone managing an ongoing condition, an ACA plan is almost always the better call — and if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you may not need a short-term plan at all.
How long a short-term plan can last, and whether it can be sold at all, is decided state by state. Federal rules set an outside limit, though federal enforcement of that limit has been suspended since August 2025 pending new rulemaking, and several states set their own shorter caps or bar these plans entirely. A Nevada-licensed agent will tell you what is actually sold here, for how long, and whether a marketplace plan through a Special Enrollment Period would serve you better.
Nevada runs its own exchange, Nevada Health Link, rather than using HealthCare.gov. That matters more than it sounds: state-based exchanges set their own Open Enrollment dates, can recognize special enrollment situations the federal marketplace does not, and sometimes administer state-only programs that have no federal equivalent. Check the Nevada Health Link calendar rather than assuming the federal dates apply to you. Nevada runs its own exchange, Nevada Health Link, so residents enroll through the state rather than HealthCare.gov.
Before defaulting to a short-term plan in Nevada, weigh it against a subsidized marketplace plan, not just its own price: if whatever created your gap was a qualifying life event, a Special Enrollment Period may be open right now, and for a household above the poverty line the premium tax credit often brings a real ACA plan close to short-term pricing — with pre-existing conditions covered, which short-term plans do not cover. Nevada expanded Medicaid to adults up to 138% of the poverty line, so lower-income residents may qualify for no-cost coverage while marketplace premium tax credits apply above that threshold.

They're Nevada's new public-option plans, standardized by the state and sold by private carriers through Nevada Health Link. Introduced for 2026, they made up about 10% of enrollments and are designed to hold down premiums. We'll show you how they compare with other plans for your situation.
Through Nevada Health Link, the exchange Nevada runs itself — not HealthCare.gov. A licensed agent can enroll you in the same plans at the same price. Because Nevada sets its own calendar, check the Open Enrollment dates against Nevada Health Link rather than assuming the federal ones apply to you.
The carriers writing individual business in Nevada include SilverSummit Health Plan (Ambetter), Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Health Plan of Nevada, Hometown Health, Molina Healthcare of Nevada and others. Which of them is actually competitive depends on your county rather than the state — the lineup and the networks in Las Vegas are not the lineup in Reno.
