Student insurance rates change in June

Q: I read that it is better to
enroll in student health insurance in May than in June. Why?
A: Rates for student medical
plans usually increase on June 1 of each year, just before spring
semester graduations. "Early birds" who enroll before June 1 save money
by locking in lower rates for the year ahead. Those who enroll before
graduation may be covered for years later under the same low cost
student policy, long after they have left school.
