Who will my health insurance company call?

I have health insurance under my parents in which I need 12 units of classes in order to stay on the policy. I took a semester off school so that I could work and now the insurance company needs my class schedule. Im scared I'll get kicked off my parents insurance for not being enrolled in class this semester. Will the insurance call my parents or are they going to call my school? Can I explain to the insurance people that i'll be back as a full time student next semester? I feel terrible and Im not sure what to do about this.

Are any of the health insurance companies on-line good?

I am 26 Years old and I don't have health insurance. I was looking online and saw that there a alot of health insurance plans you can buy online. I was thinking about doing this but I wasn't sure how safe and legitamet it was. So if there is anyone who has had experiences good or bad please help me out.
--------------------
Depending on where you reside there are several options that are very good. And some of these you can purchase on line. mbrcatz17 is being a little over cautous in this case. We have several carriers that are on our website that you can purchase on line - and they are legit. A good rule of thumb is to stay with the bigger named carriers like: Blue Cross, Wellpoint, United Healthcare, Aetna, Humana etc. Dont fall for the no-name company's. Most of the above carriers offer the ability for you to purchase on line, directly through the carrier website - or through the agent/brokers website. When people purchase insurance through our website with out contacting us it really bothers me. The reason is there are so many options availble and so many differences between the plans that it always helps to use a local agent/broker that has knowledge and understanding of the plans that are in your area. Hope this helps!

No health insurance & looking to see a psychiatrist?

I have tried looking it up on my own to no avail. I do not have health insurance but feel like I need to get a little help stabilizing my moods. Websites would help. I live in the Houston, TX area.
--------------------
I agree it is very difficult to find free counseling on the web for your area. Besides trying churches in your area, I have one additional recommendation that you could try. NAMI is the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. They have the best resources, support and information available anywhere in the US. If you go to the links I have provided and click on Resources, you will be able to review what sources available in your area. The first link is to NAMI in metropolitan Houston. The second link is to NAMI in West Houston. The third link is a direct link to the Mental Health Association of Greater Houston. They should have the information about all the providers in the area and whether or not any of them are free. NAMI might be able to advocate to get you some free counseling or send you in the right direction if you are unable to get some so don't rule them out if you really need help. Good Luck!

I was laid off with pkge 4 weeks pay 4 months health insurance when due I start cobra
--------------------
The first poster is correct, and I will add that you should never, ever be late with a COBRA payment, because they will cancel your coverage.
