How do I find health insurance for myself as an individual?

I am currently a sophomore in college, and I really hate student insurance, as it covers and pays for almost nothing, and doesn't include dental. Where do I go if i need to get a different provider?

If you're not satisfied with the student insurance options available through your school, you may want to take a look at the individual health insurance plans available in your area. Your selection and the cost of the plans available will vary depending on the state in which you live, but if you're young and relatively healthy you may have some affordable options. Talk to a licensed agent that represents multiple insurance companies in your area to get the broadest view of what's available. It doesn't cost anything extra to work through an agent. If you want to take a look at your options for yourself, visit a licensed online health insurance agency like eHealthInsurance.com, where I work. Through our site, for example, you can get free quotes and compare plans side by side before applying for coverage online. We also have customer reviews for a lot of the plans we sell. You can talk with one of our licensed agents at 1-800-977-8860. One more thing – In addition to the individual and family health insurance plans available in the open market there are also "student" health insurance plans out there that are quite flexible and can be especially helpful for people who attend school and spend their summers in different states. Just something else to consider. Best of luck, Amir M, licensed agent
