Your insurance carrier can hold up the claim a long time and then ask you for proof that your child is indeed a full time student. Heads up… if you can take care of this with your insurance customer service rep before you leave that may save a lot of hassle.



Definitely a great thing to mention!

I went home for my annual physical exam after my first year at college and received a bill from the hospital a few weeks later. Turns out my insurance company dropped my coverage on my 19th birthday because they had no proof I was a full-time college student.
