•  Student Health Insurance

Health coverage for students involve several variables that may come into play. Is the student traveling outside the acceptable range for the current policy they have.  If there is no current policy, is there one that can be obtained through the college or university being attended?

Coverage options will vary depending on the insurance company, but one should examine coverage options for the following services:

• Doctors’ fees associated with any office visit
• Hospital room and board if needed
• Expenses for surgical procedures
• Costs associated with treatment for illness or injury that may occur

What is best for one college student may not suit another. If you anticipate traveling back and forth between your home and where you attend college, a non-network (indemnity plan) may work best because you have coverage for any physician.

Since students travel between school and home, the need for flexible student health insurance is vital. A student health insurance plan can provide the security of knowing that coverage will be provided while at college or when visiting parents.
