Back to School Toolkit

Dear Partners,

For students heading to college, fall is a season full of the excitement and distraction of a new environment, new friends and new classes. With all of the activity, it can be easy to let signing up for health care slip through the cracks. However, health coverage is critical to keep students healthy and financially secure.

That’s why NEACH is partnering with Young Invincibles to bring students and their families a free Back-To-School Toolkit breaking down student options for health coverage in every state. The toolkit gives up-to-date information on the costs and benefits of student health plans, walks through how to stay on your parent's plan, explains what to do if you have a pre-existing condition, and provides relevant updates on the Affordable Care Act (like the new rules on birth control and preventive services for women). It also has tips for young women, important information on young adults and cancer, and much more. 

Click here to download the Back-To-School Toolkit. With your help, we can make sure that everyone has the information they need to stay healthy this school year.

Sincerely,

Nicole Tambouret
Program Manager
