MILWAUKEE, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Many young Americans will soon leave
their parents behind for colleges and universities. What some don't realize
is that they could be leaving behind their parents' health insurance coverage
network as well.
"Many young people lose ready access to their family's provider network
when they move away from home," says Steve Keller, Specialty Products
Marketing Director at Fortis Health. The good news, he says, is that students
can pick up personal health insurance coverage quickly and economically on the
Internet.
Fortis Health -- one of the nation's leading providers of student health
insurance -- offers affordable coverage through http://www.studentselect.com . At
the site, students or their parents can get an instant personalized quote for
the company's Student Select plan. They can even apply for coverage online.
Student Select is a guaranteed renewable, year-round health insurance
policy for full-time college students. It provides better coverage than most
school-sponsored plans, at a comparable rate. Policyholders can select the
payment mode that best fits their needs, and they can adjust the cost by
choosing a lower or higher deductible. For example, with a $500 deductible, a
20-year-old Illinois resident attending a Missouri college could pay just $315
for six months of coverage.
The plan provides a $1 million maximum and up to $100,000 for each illness
or injury, compared to most school-sponsored plans that typically offer only
up to $25,000 of coverage. Student Select policyholders can choose any doctor
or hospital. And unlike college-sponsored plans, students can carry the
insurance with them if they transfer schools. Customers can even continue
coverage on this policy after graduation.
Student Select is also designed for full-time graduate students. The plan
covers individual college students only, does not offer dependent coverage and
is not available in every state.
Besides visiting http://www.studentselect.com , parents and students can apply by
calling (800) 989-2345 or by contacting an independent insurance agent.
