Student health insurance with a family

[ckas22]

Hi! I was just accepted to my first choice PA program and was wondering about student insurance. My husband currently is a reservist in the military but his contract ends right as PA school begins. Therefore, we will be seeking insurance elsewhere. We just aren't sure if it is possible to add him and our son to a student health plan offered by my school. Does anyone know if this is a possibility? We can definitely get our insurance from his employer but we aren't sure if it would be a better value through the student insurance plan. Thanks!

Truth: it's probably a better value through his employer.  Student health insurance isn't really a great deal but it's better than the ACA market or privately buying.  Check with your school to find out for sure if you can add dependents to your student insurance.
