Student Health Insurance

Many insurance carriers offer lower rates for full-time students, it is a good idea to check rates from several companies in order to obtain the most affordable coverage possible. Even if you are a part-time student, you may be eligible for multiple health insurance discounts. In some states the law requires all full-time and part-time college students to have health insurance. You must enroll in your school’s SHIP plan unless you have other health insurance with comparable coverage. If you have comparable coverage, you do not have to enroll in your school’s SHIP plan.  Students who take only online courses are not required to have student health insurance.  Student insurance is a good way to protect your child’s health in and out of school.
