Health Insurance for College Students

There are a variety of health insurance options -- these are some of the more common types to consider. Contact Acrisure for help navigating health insurance.

Parents’ Health Insurance Plans

This is the easiest option in most cases. Individuals up to age 26 who are not eligible for other group coverage may be covered, but keep in mind that coverage may decrease for out-of-state students.

School-Sponsored Health Insurance Plans

Available for full-time students, these plans are relatively affordable and convenient as medical services are often available on campus. Off-campus services may differ. This plan will drop coverage if students graduate or drop below full-time status.

Student Health Insurance Plans

Available to full-time students ages 17-29 at a state-accredited college, this coverage travels with students to other states, but may be more expensive than individual health coverage. Medical history is a factor in acceptance and home state availability varies.

Individual Health Insurance Plans

Most states offer affordable options with a range of benefit options. The biggest advantage is that you can keep this coverage after you graduate or drop credit hours, yet coverage may vary between states and medical history is a factor in acceptance.
