HCC Life HealthCare Options, a division of HCC Life Insurance Company, announced the availability of a new short term medical insurance product designed for individuals in need of health insurance for up to 12 months. Called Amigo Medical, the product is available in both English and Spanish. Professional service is provided in English and Spanish by representatives at the World Service Center, located in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Amigo Medical offers a solution for individuals transitioning between jobs, new employees in eligibility waiting periods for group benefits, recent college graduates or students no longer eligible for coverage on their parents' plans. It is also an option for the unemployed, self-employed, individuals seeking an affordable alternative to COBRA, and those who are awaiting Medicare eligibility.

"As a company, we saw a growing need for a product like Amigo Medical," said Betsy Brougher, Vice President of HCC Life HealthCare Options. "There are still too many people living in the United States without some type of health insurance. And we are proud to be one of the very few companies to take a proactive position in recognizing the need to offer products in a language accommodating to the millions of Spanish-speaking people living in the United States."
