Determination - D is on my employer plan and I assume that is true for the above posters.

Does your parent have a plan that you as a dependent are a part of?

You will be hard pressed to find a cheaper alternative than the student plan if you are on your own.

Runner 43 - If you are unsure of your coverage, just call your insurance company - the number is on your card - and go through the questions from Cornell’s questionnaire with them. D did that - I had no idea exactly what plan we had or what our deductible is - and her questions were answered in about 5 minutes.

PS This is her 2nd year - quite a few visits to Gannett and Cayuga Hospital, blood work, cxr, swine flu, etc. Really no problem with reimbursement, etc.
I do recommend going through the provider list and finding a local MD if you have a significant health history.
