Health insurance for college students
If you're currently covered by your parents' health insurance plan, you may be lucky enough to stay on that plan. Some insurance companies cover full-time students who are still dependents up to a certain age, such as 24 or 25. However, if you aren't that fortunate and need your own health insurance, here are some great tips:
- Most colleges and universities offer health insurance to students. The premiums are usually very affordable because it's a group plan but there may be very restrictive coverage limitations. For example, the plan may only cover you if go to a medical facility that is near the school. Be sure to find out what the insurance covers before you sign up to make sure it meets your needs.
- If you are working, you might be able to get coverage from your employer. The health insurance plan may require you to work a certain number of hours a week or may require you to hold a certain type of job. But employer health plan premiums are taken right from your paycheck so you won't get a monthly or quarterly bill.
- Another option is individual insurance. This is usually the most expensive choice, but you can customize your health insurance plan so you can be sure you are covered.
