Low Cost Student Health Insurance In Pennsylvania

Posted by Ed Harris | Insurance Info | Monday 9 August 2010 11:02 pm

Low cost student health insurance in Pennsylvania is available. As Pennsylvania’s leading resource for affordable student health insurance coverage, we offer student coverage through all of the major insurers such as Aetna, UnitedHealthCare, HealthAmerica, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Independence Blue Cross, Keystone, Capital Blue Cross and Assurant. Any Pennsylvania student health insurance rates you view on this website are guaranteed to be the lowest rates allowed by the state.

Most Pennsylvania colleges and universities (Penn State, Pitt, Temple, Duquesne, Penn, Villanova, Lehigh etc…) require their students to have comprehensive health insurance, either through a parent’s plan, their own university plan or an individual plan. If you are not eligible for affordable coverage under a parent’s plan, them an individual plan from one of the major carriers should be considered.
Having a large choice of Network medical facilities, physicians and specialists is extremely important, especially if you attend an out-of-state school. Student health plans purchased through a university could limit the type of care you receive and where you can go to receive the treatment. We’ll help you find a low cost individual Pennsylvania student health insurance plan that provides the coverage you need and at a price you can afford.

Your own individual plan will include off-site doctors, hospitals and other specialists, if needed. Even if Network specialized medical care is located hundreds of miles from school, you will have access to that treatment. Almost all of the large Pennsylvania health insurers feature large Networks including the best specialists in the state. When we review your options, we’ll make certain that there are a wide selection of providers. And most companies allow you to be billed monthly, instead of paying an entire semester of premiums at once.

For example, a healthy 19-year old male in the Philadelphia area can buy comprehensive coverage for between $81 and $90 per month (Aetna’s PPO 2500 and UnitedHealthCare’s Copy Select plans). Most covered office visits and prescriptions are subject to low copays and both carriers feature nationwide Networks. By increasing the major medical deductible on both plans, the monthly rates would reduce to approximately $52-$55 per month. Keystone also offers HMO coverage in the Philadelphia area, which would result in lower out-of-pocket expenses, but higher premiums.

Individual Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are growing in popularity in Pennsylvania. This type of coverage features substantial premium savings, tax-savings, preventive benefits that are covered with little or no out-of-pocket expense and possible 0% coinsurance after the deductible. An HSA works with a “high deductible” health insurance policy and all of your contributions into the HSA are tax-deductible. These contributions can be used to pay qualified medical dental and vision expenses.


Pa Health Insurance With Maternity Coverage

Pa health insurance with maternity coverage is available through Pahealthinsurancecoverage.com, Pennsylvania’s leading trusted resource for Pa maternity coverage. Instantly, you can view, compare or apply online for affordable Pa health insurance plans that include maternity. Individual health insurance for pregnant women will generally cover many of the expenses associated with maternity, such as prenatal doctor visits, lab work, ultrasound, delivery fees and hospital expenses.

In most parts of the state, Aetna will offer the best maternity option. The “HMO 20” and “HMO 30” plans offer comprehensive maternity coverage to Pa residents, including newborn services. There is no deductible to meet and the daily copay is $450 per day and $550 per day respectively. Aetna also offers three additional plans that include maternity services (HMO 1500, HMO 2500 & HMO 5000). Each of these three plans cost less than the “HMO 20” and “HMO 30” plans but requires the deductible to be met before any maternity benefits are paid. And once the deductible is met, a 30% coinsurance must be paid.

When an Aetna HMO plan is used, you must select a Pennsylvania Participating Primary Care Physician (PCP) and use services within the Pennsylvania service area. Two exceptions would be an emergency or urgent situation. A full list of benefits and exclusions can be provided.

Pa health insurance with maternity is also offered by UnitedHealthCare. A “Maternity Benefit” rider can be added to many of their Pennsylvania plans including the popular “Copay Select,” “Copay Saver,” and “Saver 80” plans. The “Saver 80” plan will feature lower premiums since it is a catastrophic policy. The “Copay” plans will be more expensive since they include office visits, prescription coverages and many preventive benefits

The UnitedHealthCare optional maternity benefit covers some of the cost of routine pregnancy and delivery for the primary insured and spouse. 80% of covered maternity expenses are covered and after four years, the maximum covered expense reaches $7,500. In benefit years one and two, the maximum covered expense is $2,500 but reaches $5,000 in years four and five. UnitedHealthCare will not provide coverage for expenses related to a pregnancy beginning before that maternity benefit’s effective date.

Another option is to purchase a Pa Health Savings Account, which is available from most major insurers. Deposits into a Health Savings Account reduce your taxable income as long as these funds are used on qualified medical expenses (as defined by the IRS). You can deposit funds into your Health Savings Account than can be later used to pre-fund expected routine maternity expenses. Funds would be considered pre-tax and could potentially save thousands of dollars in expenses. Also, you may be eligible for a “negotiated network discount” on your maternity expenses if you have qualified health care.

After the deductible is met, 100% of major medical expenses are covered, including Semi-private room charges, physician and surgeon fees, surgery, Lab & X-Ray services, anesthesia and therapy services (Chemotherapy & Radiation Therapy).

Additional coverages provided by the HealthAmerica Pennsylvania HSA include outpatient surgery, lab services, allergy testings and injections and blood products. Primary care and Specialist visits are also covered with $15 & $25 copays respectively. However, preventive services are not subject to a deductible. Some of these services include gynecological exams, routine mammograms, well child visits up to age nine, preventive pediatric and adult immunizations and hearing exams (under age 18).

HealthAmerica’s Health Savings Account also includes dental benefits that are not subject to a deductible. Coverage is focused on prevention with little or no cost for oral evaluation and basic diagnostics. Annual periodic evaluations, bitewing X-rays and adult/child cleanings are covered at 100%.
