Student Insurance Gets High Marks (NAPSA)—A growing number of parents are taking an interest in health insurance for their children in college—especially for those graduating soon. Since parents’ policies don’t cover young adults who are not full-time students, or are over 23, what is a grad to do for coverage until landing that first job? Student health insurance may be the answer. The only requirement to get these inexpensive plansis full-time status with nine accredited units of undergraduate coursework, or the equivalent in a graduate program. As long as premiumsare paid, the coverage continues in perpetu- ity—even after the student gradu- ates, or ceases to be a full-time student. Premiumsvary by state, but, for example, at a Website called eHealthInsurance.com, they average $75.00 a month, paid semiannually. So if your soon-to-be-graduate has not already landed a job, here’s a way to give peace-of-mind as a pre-graduation gift. Just be sure to get this insurance before “Pomp and Circumstance” is played.
