Does anyone have advice or suggestions regarding the best way to cover your child with health insurance at UA? We’re in California and our current health insurance does not have network coverage in Alabama so we’re trying to decide if it would be best to a.) change our insurance to something like Blue Cross PPO which has wider networks b.) buy a separate policy in Alabama for DS, or c.) buy the student insurance offered by UA. The limit of $500,000 on the UA student insurance makes me nervous in case (God forbid) DS got in a serious accident, but I have read that due to the new ACA regulations student insurance is no longer allowed to have caps on coverage. Presumably this will make it more expensive but the website has not been updated with any information about this as yet.
