Karel, as the asker, you decide as to which term you wish to use. May I please indicate, however, that your text is dealing with employment-related insurance and you were looking for an established term. Apropos, a person with a flu shall not be dealt with by an insurance policy, nor does a DPN develop from a cold, I mean, not usually.

his name is 'insured' i.e. pojištěnec, I have always hated it but such is the case.

@Jiri Lonsky:
What is short-term is inherently temporary, but not the other way around. Temporary things can be long-term too.

http://www.tfd.com/temporary
= not permanent, lasting for a limited period of time (which is not necessarily short, although often may be)
http://www.tfd.com/short-term
= Involving or lasting a relatively brief time. (which is inherently limited => mathematically speaking, short-term events form a subset of events that are temporary)

If a noun would be the subject of the question, I would have suggested "temporary disability", however, the expression "Insured with a temporary disability" just did not seem right; for one, it somehow seems to insinuate that the person was insured with the short term disability already present...

I am curious about the difference between "short term" and "temporary". Could you elaborate?

I used a word which is commonly typical for insurance agencies and employers

These two mean basically the same thing so picking one is really a matter of preference. "Temporary" and "short-term" mean different things and shouldn't be used interchangeably in general.
