Are your kids off to college? We have insurance tips for parents and students.
What does my college student do if they get sick?
Most health plans pay for visits to urgent care clinics or virtual doctors. Call your plan or go to their website to find out which urgent care centers are nearby and in your plan’s network. Please note that an urgent care center operator that is in network in your hometown may not be in network where your student is living.
Where do college students refill prescriptions?
Make sure college students take their prescriptions with them. Mail order prescriptions may be a cheap and easy option. A pharmacy can fill a prescription, but you’ll want to check with your health plan to make sure the pharmacy is in network.
What health care options do college students have?
A lot of campuses have on-campus clinics or nurse lines that students can use. Other options are virtual visits and visits to a doctor’s office, an urgent care clinic, or a hospital emergency room. Nurse lines and online visits are usually the cheapest (and often free). Emergency rooms are the most expensive.
Should I drop auto insurance for my college student who didn’t take a car to school?
Probably not. If your student comes home on weekends or holidays and wants to drive, they’ll need auto insurance. The same goes for driving a friend’s car. You’ll want them to have insurance.
How can college students protect their stuff in they live in an apartment?
Your homeowners policy will cover your student’s stuff in an apartment, but the coverage is limited. Renters insurance will offer more coverage and usually covers housing if your student needs to move because their unit is damaged. The landlord’s insurance covers only the building itself, not your student’s personal property if it’s damaged by something like a fire or pipe burst.
