Whats a good cheap health insurance for a college student needing ADD medicine with a min wage job?

Question

Like I said I only have a min wage job, and I completely support myself. I desperately need ADD meds, but I have NO health insurance. I need to be able to afford the health insurance too. I am a college student. I make about 300 every two weeks. any suggestions on what I should do?

Answer 1

You're in a tough situation, as there are very few low-cost options for health insurance in the US.

There's a very good article at eHow that discusses how to get health insurance for you and your family when you don't have a job that covers you:

Take a look at it, as it covers all the major possibilities for getting insurance, and gives some great resources you can use.

If money is a big issue (and when isn't it?), you can also look here for tips on earning some extra cash online:

Answer 3

No one is going to give you $500 a month in prescription coverage for $200 a month in premiums.  They're all going to exclude the ADD meds.  

I think you're going to have to switch jobs - UPS will hire you, AND give you access to group health insurance through them.

Answer 5

There is no such thing as a good and cheap health insurance policy. With health insurance you get what you pay for. Also, with ADD you may have trouble finding a company that will accept you. Some companies will accept if you are on one med and the ADD is controlled. Most will decline or rider the ADD or will increase the premium if you are taking more than one med. If you have any other pre-existing conditions it will be even harder to find a policy.

You should first check with the school. Most colleges have a student plan available for a reasonable premium. If that doesn't work find a local agent that works with all the major companies in your area. The agent can find the plans that will accept you if there are any. There is no extra charge using an agent.

You should also check your states Medicaid website to see if you qualify for Medicaid.

Answer 7

Most colleges have a health unit, and medical insurance for their students. Contact the infirmary at your school first.  Secondly most states recognize college students as being below the poverty level so you may want to contact your city's medicaid office to see if you qualify for benefits. Good Luck....
