Health Insurance

Students are urged to carry health insurance coverage, but it is not a requirement. SHS does not endorse or sponsor a specific program but maintains literature on a few insurance programs listed below. We recognize that students and families have different needs based on health status, availability of private insurance, access to care in a home state or town, and other factors. Below, you will find insurance information for students and families who may experience changes in their health insurance needs.

Plans vary according to their coverage, price, deductibles, and other variables pertinent to selecting an adequate plan. Students and parents are urged to check with their insurance companies and home states to become familiar with the laws regulating coverage.

There are also resources online. Parents and students are encouraged to research companies they are familiar with. Many have student plans or extensions of coverage if the student was previously insured under a family plan.
