Today, young people need a college or trade school degree in order to compete for jobs. On top of that necessity, they are caught by economic forces that have forced up the expense of college and of health care during college -- all at the time when these students may lose the medical insurance that their parents provided.
When a student is on their own financially, a case of strep throat or a sprained wrist from a game of touch football may not only lead to difficulties at school, but can also cause extreme economic difficulty to a student on a strict budget. A student needs to stay healthy in order to graduate on time with good grades. A student health insurance policy helps that student focus on those goals without the added worry of paying the full price of an antibiotic or a visit to the emergency room.

Student Health Insurance Important and Often Required
Most family health insurance do not cover dependents over the age of 18 unless certain criteria are met -- i.e., a full-time student under the age of 23. While this young adult group is generally healthy, they are still economically vulnerable to medical expenses. They are also, as a group, at risk for accidents, infectious diseases, and stress-induced mental issues. Students need inexpensive health insurance specifically geared to their stage in life that can protect them as they move toward economic independence.
Waiving Ohio College-provided Health Plan Fees
Luckily, many schools provide required health insurance for students, which is paid by tuition and fees. Often, however, one can find lower rates by purchasing individual student health insurance outside of the school. Though there may be certain restrictions -- a student can often waive their insurance fee if they can prove sufficient health coverage outside of the school.

- Graduate Students: There are numerous options for this diverse group, who are usually too old to be added to a family plan. An individual policy is one workable choice.
