Did Health Insurance Work In Medical School?
Friday, September 26th, 2008When you plan to start medical school next year, and you are concerned about your health insurance, you might read this on. Since you can not work, it might be a little concern about coverage. Some of you maybe know that some school do provide health insurance, but not sure about intuition.
Well, this health insurance coverage depends on what state you are in. The only advantage of a school plan is that it is guaranteed issue. Most school sponsored policies are limited benefit ($50,000 or so) and your primary care provider is the campus clinic. The cost is in addition to tuition, and if you are like most of us, added on to your student loan.
The advantage to an individual plan is that you own the policy - not the university, or for that matter not your employer either. When you graduate you will still have insurance. An individual policy probably costs less as well.
