School insurance comes short for graduate student
Oct. 13, 2009Here we are, in the sixth week of school already, and I have not received any confirmation of health coverage. My wife and I moved here in August and were enveloped by the school processes, policies and procedures. I chose to use the school's health provider and am paying the fees for that coverage. We also paid the additional fee ($775 to be exact) for my wife to be covered as well. That money has already been charged to our credit card, so we understand that to mean they received our information. The frustrating thing is that we haven't received a letter indicating the type of coverage, specific benefits and locations, or anything!
