Coverage Options When Your Spouse Goes Back to School
When one spouse goes back to school, it can have a significant impact on your family’s health insurance coverage. If you’re both employed through the same employer, you may be able to add your spouse to your plan. However, if your spouse is leaving their job to become a full-time student, they may lose their health insurance coverage. In this case, you’ll need to consider other options, such as Obamacare or a student health insurance plan.
Adding Your Spouse to Your Employer-Sponsored Plan
If you’re both employed through the same employer, you may be able to add your spouse to your health insurance plan. This is typically the most affordable option, as your employer will likely subsidize the cost of your coverage. However, there may be some restrictions on who you can add to your plan. For example, some employers only allow you to add spouses who are also employed by the company.
Enrolling in Obamacare
If you’re not eligible to add your spouse to your employer-sponsored plan, you can enroll in Obamacare. Obamacare is a health insurance marketplace that offers affordable health insurance plans to individuals and families. When you enroll in Obamacare, you’ll be able to choose from a variety of plans, including plans that cover spouses and dependents.
Enrolling in a Student Health Insurance Plan
If your spouse is going to be a full-time student, they may be eligible for a student health insurance plan. Student health insurance plans are typically more affordable than other types of health insurance plans. However, they may not cover as many benefits.
Deciding Which Option is Right for You
The best way to decide which health insurance option is right for you is to compare the costs and benefits of each option. You should also consider your spouse’s income and employment status. If your spouse is going to be a full-time student, they may not be eligible for employer-sponsored health insurance or Obamacare. In this case, a student health insurance plan may be the best option.
