Short-term, limited duration insurance means health insurance coverage provided under a contract with a health insurance issuer that has an expiration date specified in the contract that is less than 12 months after the original effective date of the contract and, taking into account renewals or extensions, has a duration of no longer than 36 months in total, including any extensions or renewals offered by the issuer or those that may be elected by the policyholder without the health insurance issuer's consent.
