Are there any short term insurances for things like boarding school?

Question

I'm entering boarding school for the 2008-2009 freshman school year. However, I need medical insureance. So I was wondering if there were any sort of insureance plans especially designed for students like that, only for enough time for me to be in school?

Answer 1

Hello there,

Depending on where you live YES there are short-term insurace plans available through private carriers.  They will provide coverage for a specific number of days at your choice, or up to 6 months at a time.  They're pretty easy to qualify for, and are generally less expensive that your traditional private coverage.  If you go onto an insurance sales website you can see if the short-term coverage is available in your area.  You should be able to find a plan that will cover you if you get sick while at boarding school, that won't cost a ton of money.

Good luck!

Yes, but look at permanent coverage as some times it actually costs less.  AND, short term policies (although 6 months is common) can some times be purchased for up to 12 months at a time.
