2011 Grads Need Affordable Student Health Insurance
Posted by Melissa C. on Fri, May 06, 2011 @ 01:25 PM
We’re quickly approaching graduation season. It’s a time of transition usually marked by a change in residence, a change in employment, and a change in health insurance plans. You or someone you know might be losing dependent status on a parents’ group health plan. Or, you may be starting your first job in the “real world” and have a waiting period before group coverage begins.
This is a great time to consider affordable student health insurance.
The type of health plan that most easily fits the needs of young adults is a Short-Term plan. It’s budget-friendly and provides the essential major medical benefits many young adults are looking for. Plus, web-savvy twenty-somethings like how fast and easy it is to apply for coverage online!
Short-Term benefit plans are designed to be affordable while covering the “basics” - hospitalization, Rx drugs, PPO office visits, surgical fees and labs. They’re also designed to be bought for the number of months needed by the graduate. They can pay monthly as they go or even with their credit card. And in today’s economy if the job search takes a little longer than expected, you can reapply for more coverage.
It’s important your health insurance needs are met while you’re in school, during your first few months after graduation, or if your first job doesn’t offer health insurance coverage. Individual health insurance is a great way to protect your health and budget while you’re taking your first steps in the “real world.” For more benefit and price information visit The Celtic PostGrad Health Plan page.
