The tuition arrangements are set up; the dorm room is
\nassigned and your son or daughter is headed off to
\ncollege in the fall. In all of the confusion of the
\npaperwork, deadlines and financial arrangements did
\nyou remember to check on their health insurance?<\/p>\n
Many, but not all, insurance companies provide for
\nhealth insurance for college students under a family
\npolicy; do you know for sure that yours does?<\/p>\n
With some insurance companies, coverage depends on
\nwhether or not the student is a full time student.
\nReview your policy or ask your insurance
\nadministrator; if you have an HMO plan, will your
\nstudent be covered if they go to the student
\nhealthcare facility away from home?<\/p>\n
Check the age limit as well; you may find that once
\nyour son or daughter reaches a certain age they are
\ndropped from the policy no matter what.<\/p>\n
Ask your insurance company to provide an extra
\ninsurance card for your son or daughter to carry with
\nthem; if there is an additional card for prescription
\nmedications; make sure they have that too.<\/p>\n
This preventative step will help eliminate confusion
\nwhen they suddenly have to see a doctor.<\/p>\n
There are student health care plans that are available
\nthrough most colleges that are a reasonably priced
\nalternative if your policy excludes your child.<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t college confusing enough without having to worry
\nabout whether your child is covered should he or she
\nneed to seek medical attention? Take the time to look
\ninto health insurance before they head off to college
\nin the fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
