USC Student Health Insurance Plan

<p>Does anyone have experience with the USC Health Insurance Plan? We are debating getting it for our son and taking him off our family plan with BCBS. Thanks!</p>

<p>No experience here but it looks to be an excellent plan and very affordable compared to what I would have to pay through my employer.</p>

<p>NC Mom: Does having your son on your family plan cost extra. If not, and your family plan on BCBS meets USC requirements, then I would stick with your plan. We have BCBS also but we are in Illinois. Our insurance is employee + family. It doesn’t matter if “family” is one (spouse), two (spouse + son), etc., the cost to us is the same for employee + spouse as it is for employee + spouse + son. Also, BCBS is also in California so that actually helps.</p>

<p>Thanks msheft. Yes it does cost more to have him on. We are self employed so I guess we pay for each individual. It us cheaper to go with the USC plan but in the long run, will it cost us more? That is why I am wondering if anyone has used it and what they had to pay.</p>

<p>We opted for USC insurance last year, and the cost was about $1040 for both semesters. $426 for fall semester, and $614 for spring semester (I’m not sure why the amounts are different for both semesters :/). I was a freshman last year, so I also don’t know if it varies every year. Hope these figures help you compare!</p>
