Student Health Insurance
It’s easy to understand why many students don’t think they need health insurance. Many young adults are healthy. As a result, they consider themselves immune to illness or injury. Undergraduates may have a reputation for taking risks, but going without health insurance shouldn’t be one of them.
Health issues can affect anyone, regardless of age or physical condition. And while many universities provide health clinics, relying on a clinic alone may not be enough. To ensure a student has all the health resources he or she may need — and is protected from the high cost of some services — a student health insurance policy is a smart choice.
Consider that:
- Students often live in close quarters and could be more susceptible to communicable illnesses like the flu and common cold.
- Without an insurance policy, a student may be reluctant to seek treatment at the first sign of symptoms, possibly prolonging an illness or injury.
- The cost of even a minor doctor’s office or hospital visit could incur debt, possibly stressing a student’s financial position.
