Travel nursing comes with a coverage problem most professions don't face: your health insurance is often tied to the agency staffing your current contract. When the contract ends, so can your coverage — right when you might be between assignments or taking a well-earned break.
The gap between contracts
Even a short break between assignments can leave you uninsured. And switching agencies often means switching plans, deductibles, and networks all over again — so any progress you made toward your deductible resets, and your doctors might no longer be covered.
Why portable PPO coverage helps
- Coverage you own — it doesn't end with a contract
- Works nationwide, in every state you take an assignment
- No referrals needed to see specialists
- One deductible to track, not a new one each contract
Coverage that travels like you do
A nationwide PPO network means you can get care wherever your assignment takes you, not just near a single home base. For travel nurses who move every few months, that's the difference between coverage that works and coverage that fights you.
What about gaps you've already had?
If you've been piecing together agency plans with gaps in between, a private plan can give you continuity going forward. Because you can enroll year-round, you don't have to wait for a special window to fix the problem.
Choosing the right plan
Share the states you typically work in and any doctors you want to keep, and a licensed advisor can match you to a portable PPO plan that fits your travel schedule and budget — free, with no obligation.
