Can someone help me shop for health insurance?

If you are in college, you may want to check out health insurance programs that are written through your school. United Healthcare has a plan available at many US schools. These student injury and illness plans provide wide ranging coverage and are designed to be affordable for college students. To check if your school is participating, go to www.UHCSR.com and enter your school name in the search box. You might also be interested in joining the American College Student Association (ACSA), a national organization for college students. They have lots of member benefits, including student health insurance. Their membership fee is affordable.

Do not try to do this over the internet. It'll take you days to intelligently compare all the plans available. Also, if you have any pre-existing conditions that might add a rider to the policy, cause you to be declined, or if you are out of the height and weight guidelines you won't know until you've applied and gone through the underwriting process. Visit a local agent that works with all of the major companies in your area. The agent can help you find the best plan for your situation and budget. They can tell you the premium and the coverage of the different plans. There is no extra charge using an agent. No one on YA can help you because the companies and plans available will vary depending on your state and the premium will vary depending on your ages, height and weight, if you smoke, any pre-existing conditions you may have, and even your zip code.
