<p>Here's the FSU page where the university health insurance requirments are explained. I suspect most students will be covered under their family insurance policy, but if they have none or other acceptable policy (per FSU), you will have to buy the FSU policy.</p>
<p>In my case, my older student is aging out of the family policy.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if medical students receive some kind of health insurance through the med school where they are enrolled? Grad students can receive a subsidy from FSU, perhaps that is how it works for med students.</p>
<p>Parent, I don't know the answer to your specific question, but I would like to add that Parents should look at the cost of student life insurance vrs what they pay as part of the family policy. I just retired early so its a different situation, but found the UCF Atena policy to be about $600-700 less per year that what I would pay through my company retiree policy.</p>
<p>I found the same thing with my employer - the continuation would be very expensive compared to the university policy. The benefits would not be as extensive, but the FSU policy is only about 25% the price of the continuation policy amount through my employer.</p>
<p>Parent, The benefits were basically the same as to my surprise the deductible was less.</p>
<p>In general most companies don't want much to do with Retirees, Spouses and dependents. Since they know about the situation when dependents turn 18, but can be carried until they finish college. What they offer the retiree is very unattractive to get kids off the policy, that's why they offer no allowances ect. Go buy the student policy so we don't have to deal with it I think is the general feeling.</p>
<p>Well, compared to the plan I have through my employer the FSU benefits are about 10% less, but on par with many other plans. Given that most 22 year old students are generally healthy, it should be fairly inexpensive.</p>
<p>We'll probably go that way - the FSU plan, unless we find something better.</p>
