Alabama group health insurance is most commonly available through employment, unions, and trade or professional associations. However, in some cases, it can be found through colleges. Group health coverage may work out to be considerably less expensive than individual policies.
Students can often remain on their parents’ group health plan until they are 26, but if they are not eligible or it is not practical to do so, they may be able to get coverage through their school, college, or university. Generally, these student policies have been inconsistent in that some have offered a broad range of coverage and some have been very limited in scope.
However, through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) the U.S. Government is working on making student health coverage more consistent, and of a quality equal to an individual plan. Under the ACA, in September 2012, student health plans will have benefits of not less than $100,000 per annum. In addition, one of the aims is to make these plans more flexible in terms of practitioner choice.
According to the Alabama Department of Insurance, about 20% of residents who are between 19 and 24 do not have health coverage. This is very risky because no matter how healthy a young person is, the risk of illness or injury is always present and medical costs are high. Students or parents wanting more information about Alabama group health insurance should contact the one of our agents who will be able to help with any queries you may have!
