With the new school semester starting up, many students will need to submit proof of health insurance to their school in order to enroll in class. Most schools will enroll you in their plan, however if you want to save money and if your school allows you to waive out of their plan - it's worth looking into alternative options.

The Student Secure plan will meet, and even exceed the coverage requirements laid out by most schools and it will most likely save you money. You can check online if the plan meets your school's requirements by checking our online school requirement database.

The plan starts at $33/ month for the budget plan for students inside the USA and $28/ month for those studying outside of the USA.
