Affordable Student Medical Insurance from Assurant
Assurant Health's Student Select Plan is a permanent, renewable individual medical insurance plan specifically for college students under the age of 30. It was designed specifically for students who need quality coverage at an affordable rate while attending college. The plan provides comprehensive coverage for high cost items such as hospital stays and surgery as well as everyday occurrences like doctor visits.
Student Select costs less than a traditional individual medical plan. The Student Select plan offers a choice of deductibles, and because it is not an HMO or PPO plan, you can pick the doctor or hospital you want to visit. The plan allows for up to $1 million protection for eligible expenses, including in-hospital and outpatient services, emergency care and surgery. Student Select covers against unexpected illnesses or accidents. Signa Health is proud to offer the best student medical insurance plan available in the United States.
You need Assurant's student medical insurance if you are:
- No longer covered as a dependant under your parent's medical insurance plan.
- Attending a school outside an HMO or PPO region.
- Required to have coverage but do not participate in a college-sponsored plan.
- Finding a traditional individual medical plan to be too expensive.
Plan Highlights
Following are some highlights of the student medical insurance plan from Assurant.
If you need to transfer schools, your Student medical insurance coverage moves with you. Student Select is not tied to any one school. There's no need to change coverage or re-apply. In fact, you're covered when traveling anywhere in the United States, its possessions or Canada.
With Student medical insurance from Assurant, you're covered year-round, not just during the school term. And, if for some reason, you have to leave school, Student Select stays with you for the remainder of the policy year... and then it's guaranteed renewable.
Student Select guarantees renewability. Whereas most college plans only cover you until you graduate or very shortly thereafter, Assurant's student medical insurance can be renewed as long as it's needed . . . and, of course, as long as you pay the premiums.

Any full-time college student*(taking nine or more college credits), attending a state accredited college or university, under the age of 30 and is able to answer "NO" to the medical questions on the application, is eligible for Assurantýs student medical insurance.
