Folks should call or check their policy to find out definitely. But, your post leads me to think that most policies cover kids through college.<BR/><BR/>Jerry<BR/>www.leads4insurance.comJerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297947643006068426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-14190451909484980402008-06-12T20:48:00.000-07:002008-06-12T20:48:00.000-07:00@Ktoth04 - Great suggestion!@Saving Diva - That's ...@Ktoth04 - Great suggestion!<BR/><BR/>@Saving Diva - That's about what I remember, too, but I also recall the coverage not being very good. That's why I think it was more of a catastrophic policy, but it was so long ago, I can't be sure.<BR/><BR/>@Father Sez - That does not sound like a good situation. I hope you were able to find reasonably priced insurance for your older kids. You're right, you'd think the computer system would be set up to offer you options - it would make them more money!Chief Family Officerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320154821990804327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-30656052048292101062008-06-12T19:34:00.000-07:002008-06-12T19:34:00.000-07:00We have a family health insurance package.

I found out by chance that children once they reach 18 are not eligible. <BR/><BR/>The insurance company with all its fancy computer systems did not write to me to ask if we would be interested to sign up separate policies for the elder girls.<BR/><BR/>RegardsFather Sezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123124877638945944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-37507671031143551782008-06-12T06:44:00.000-07:002008-06-12T06:44:00.000-07:00I was covered on my parents' insurance all through...I was covered on my parents' insurance all through college (and after). My school also offered health insurance for student for a small fee (I think $200/year or something like that).SavingDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267021491907810696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-46917481865579915222008-06-12T06:12:00.000-07:002008-06-12T06:12:00.000-07:00Myself and my roommate are both covered under our ...Myself and my roommate are both covered under our parents plan, but while I am automatically renewed, she has to fill out a form every year to prove she is still in school full time. It might be prudent for whoever is responsible to check every few months to make sure they are still being covered.ktoth04https://www.blogger.com/profile/16022423019887760541noreply@blogger.com
