According to the article “Bad Economy Lifts Enrollment in Student Plans, but Reform Rules are Unclear” by Steve Davis on AISHealth.com, health insurance companies are expecting large enrollments in student plans as the school season starts.  This is despite the new provision of the health reform law that offers dependent coverage up to 26 years of age. Guidance is needed to understand how the new law is going to affect a student health insurance quote .  Student health insurance is currently filed in each state as a limited duration policy and rated on a basis of a group.  Insurers and consumers are still unclear whether or not student plans will continue this type of regulation or if they will be viewed more like individual health insurance plans.  This will affect the way these plans are handled and could end up affecting the student considerably. About a month ago, the American College Health Association in conjunction with 11 other higher education organizations, sent a letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Nancy-Ann DeParle, the director of the White House Office of Health Reform, asking for certain clarifications on the new reform law and how it is going to affect student plans.  Clarification and awareness are the first steps to ensuring these students get the best plans suited to their needs and encourage no gaps in coverage.
