For DS1 we have continued to purchase the insurance, and have never needed to make a claim, though at one point there was a chance he would need to take a leave, and it was nice to be able to tell him that it wouldn’t cost us anything if he did.

For DS2, he has more ongoing medical issues that make it more likely that he will need to take a leave, but he’s on a full-tuition scholarship, so we’re only on the hook for a semester at a time of room and board, so I’m not so sure. The price of the insurance is based on how much you’re insuring, so we might, but probably we’ll just self-insure for that amount. The main issue would be “using up” a semester of his scholarship without being able to get credit for the semester. I need to get a more firm answer on what happens when a scholarship student needs to take a medical leave.
