Update: Concerns for Colleges Promoting to Students Short-Term Limited Duration Insurance or Other Plans that Are Not Compliant with the Affordable Care Act

ACHA has received inquiries on whether offering students the recently authorized short-term limited duration insurance (STLDI) could be a viable option for colleges and has published this update to provide guidance to schools on the topic of STLDI plans.
