The auto-enroll trick
Most colleges automatically enroll you in their student health plan and add it to your bursar bill — often $2,000-$4,000 per year. If you already have coverage (parent's plan, Medicaid, an ACA plan, the VA, your job), you can usually waive it by submitting proof before a deadline.
How AI helps
- Translates your existing insurance card and the school plan into plain English.
- Compares deductibles, copays, and what counts as 'in network' on or near campus.
- Walks you through the waiver form before you submit.
- Explains Medicaid eligibility (in many states students with low income qualify).
Prompt
Compare plans, not your SSN.
I'm a college sophomore. My parent has Aetna [paste plan summary].
My school's plan is [paste]. The school plan costs $3,200/year.
In plain English:
1. Will my parent's plan cover me at school in [state]?
2. What's the cheapest path?
3. What's the riskiest gap if I waive?
Remind me: I am not asking for legal advice, just plain comparison.Key terms in this lesson
