Im marrying a solier and need insurance?

Question

When my solider gets home from Basic training for the army we are planning on getting married. Im trying to get everything in order before he gets home so its just that much easier for us but i was thinking today im still on my parents insurance. I am also 19 and still in college so i need the insurance. I know that it says on the army website family gets medical and dental health care but i just didnt know what all medical intaled. Any information would be a great help! Thanks!

Answer 1

As long as you are in school and unmarried you will still be covered by your parents insurance.  When your guy gets home and you get married, he can add you to his military insurance.  It is good coverage, but you may have to go outside your local area for care.  Do you plan to go with him when he gets his assignment (assuming it is not in a war zone)?  If so, you will have military doctors close by.  I would not try to purchase additional coverage until you decide what to do.
