Question I want to float out there. Maryland offers an insurance plan for students that costs $1200/year. From what I understand it removes the cost of basic infirmary visits and greatly reduces all other medical expenses you might incur, while using the school’s medical services. If you don’t take, you must have other viable insurance. However the on campus medical does not currently take assignment of your insurance so you’ll be submitting those for reimbursement. Obviously it depends on your plan, etc…(out of network or not etc…), but I was interested in getting an idea as to how many are planning on taking the school’s insurance or not and why. Clearly you still need other insurance if you take the schools as if there is a need for off campus treatment you need coverage but it would reduce the cost of the majority of medical treatment which is on campus.
