If I drop a class will I lose my health insurance coverage?

Question

(I have this posted once already, but I think I may have went with the wrong section the first time.)

The title pretty much says it all. I'm about to withdraw from a few classes and I was just wondering if I'll still be covered until the end of the semester. I'm under my parents insurance right now (Tricare Prime) and I'm required to be a full time student in order to be covered. I've been reading that as long as you were full time when you initally enrolled that you'd be covered until the end of the semester, regardless on if you dropped a class or not. The thing is, that was for eHealth-insurance; I couldn't find any info about that for Tricare. I'm just hoping that the same rules apply. I've been dealing with quite a few medical issues lately and I really need the health coverage, but at the same time, I'm in desperate need to drop a few of the classes that I'm not going to be able to pass. If any of you could shed some light on this for me, I'd truly appreciate it.

Answer 1

IF you drop under full time student status, you are dropped from the insurance.  

They might not find out right away, but they WILL request reimbursement from the subscriber, after it catches up.

I would suggest NOT dropping those classes, just because you're not going to pass.  If you don't want it to hurt your average, see if you can elect to take them pass/fail.  Or just flat out fail them, and retake the class - only the higher of the two grades will count on your average.

Answer 2

You should really go to your school office to ask about that. While I was in school as long as you had part-time classes fulfilled you could get insurance through them. I would suggest you look to get insurance yourself if you're paying regardless.
