It's a Dirty word - INSURANCE

The funny thing is that trouble knocks on your doors when you dont have the relevant cushions..we have all at once been stopped by police when you dont have a liscense..please just insuare her& dont ignore it for at one time it will help you big time..

P1ke I don't know if that is or not but why don't you look at compare.com or moneymarket.com and see what they offer you never know it might be cheaper there xxx

Go there. They give you free quotes with no obligation to buy. Compare what the college of offering with what you can get through local NC companies and see how the college measures up.

I'm not a fan of comprehensive coverage because it is so limited. I work for a health insurance company and comprehensive is like the least coverage last resort but great if there is an accident coverage.

I don't see why your daughter couldn't get set up on a nice HMO for about the same cost.

And just as an FYI....NC is only a 6 hour drive for me. My daddy lives there.

I am surprised that the college expects her to have medical coverage. I don't think they can actually require it. Are you sure they are not just giving you an option?

I graduated from a California University in 2004. They never once mentioned medical insurance. Their only requirements was that I prove I have had my MMR vaccinations.

In fact my college provided a health facility that was free to go to. The cost was already included in my tution.

As far as the cost of the medical insurance they are offering it is not bad. Most medical insurance should be around the same amount.

There may also be another option if you have your own medical insurance. Your child can remain on your medical as a dependent as long as she is under the age of 25 and a full time student. I remained on my parents insurance until I graduated from college.

I think insurance is not a dirty word because ther exist so many diseases whether we do nt make a gurrante that for how much time one lives. there are various types of insurance such as health insurance, medical insurance, insurance of household appliances which makes us feel relax.

Hi p1key,



Wow!! your daughter is going to America? that is brilliant, all the congrts to her, $56 works out around £30 something a month, that is not bad maybe somewhere else would be cheaper, but I've no idea, good luck, hugs.

I would recommend looking at the details...like how much will a routine well-woman visit or a problem visit cost your daughter (copay and coinsurance as well as deductible information is something you'll want to know because these terms mean you will be paying more money in addition to the monthly rate.) If you, (her parents) have insurance check with them because she is in college most insurance companies will cover her if she provide proof that she's in college. (Like her school schedule)Hopes this helps:o)

I can honestly say that I do not know very much about medical insurance for college students P1key but I do know about medical insurance in general in The States and I would venture to say that this does sound like a very reasonable if not cheap deal for an entire semester. I wouldn't think you could get it much cheaper but of course it depends on the deductible, what is covered etc. The good part about it is that it is coming from a school, (they are not furnishing the coverage but they went out and made a deal with the company that is furnishing the coverage), and they are not really there to rip students off for an insurance policy but they are more trying to help the students out in helping them get medical insurance just in case something unforeseen should happen.

hi p1kef1sh... i'm not living in US so i don't really know about the insurance policy and price in the US... i can't help you much unfortunately on this matter... but all i can say is the price of health insurance everywhere is very expensive... even here... i and my hubby pay heaps for my insurance and hospital cover... congratulations anyway to your daughter for going to college... take care and have a nice day...

Is this considered manitary at the school, my daughter is in nursing college and she isn't required to have medical insurance or at least she never said anything to me about it. Maybe something they just started, will be interested to see what others say.
