Health Insurance while in school

I'm 23 and currently am employed and have full coverage health insurance...but once I enroll in Pod school all that goes away. My parents health insurance plan only covers me until I'm 25, which will be 1 year into school, so what do I do for health insurance? Do schools offer some kind of insurance policy? What do most currently enrolled do for health insurance if they do not have a spouse's policy that they are covered under?

At OCPM you can buy into their health insurance when your plan expires. Mine lasts until I am 23 so I will be purchasing it half way through my first year if I go there. And you would be able to purchase it in August after your first year (Their plans go August to January and January to August. If you interview there you will hear more about it, but I'm sure most of the schools offer similar plans (buy into theirs if you dont have one, keep your plan if you don't need theirs). From the looks of it the insurance plan they offered was decent 👍

Seeing as how you will be attending a health institution, most of the schools have quite good plans.
