college+healthcare

This is a 50pt assignment due on the 20th. Please email me one fun fact that you learned.

To do this you need to have a conversation with your parents/guardians/park rangers about health insurance and if you are going to be on their insurance or on the college plan. Please enter all important phone numbers and digits into an email and send it to your parents, not from your school email because that will go away right after school is over.

You are just going to tell me that you are done. I do not want or need your insurance number. I trust that you are adults. You need to have this conversation with your parents/guardians at some point. Might as well be now, for credit.

What important details do you need to know about your health insurance before you go away to college? #s etc. What is your copay? What would an ambulance ride cost? What is your Dr's phone # What about prescriptions? (if you have existing ones, where will you get them transferred to?) What do you pay for prescriptions?

On campus: Where are facilities for mental health care located? What can and do they provide? Where are facilities for physical health care located? What can and do they provide Where do you go for an actual emergency (stitches, alcohol poisoning, suicidal ideation, etc) Where on campus will I find my people? Who are your affinity groups? (Religious groups, Bollywood dancers, Trekkies, robot builders, lovers of a specific musical group, or type of sport)
