As it stands now, Florida State is the only University to require students to carry health insurance before being allowed to enroll in classes. This may change dramatically if a new Florida bill passes which will require schools to bill a student’s private health insurance for any services rendered at the university’s health clinic. As it stands, university health clinics are maintained by student fees and staffed by a full time doctor. The bill would set guidelines for schools requiring health insurance including having the university’s health clinic achieve in-network status from at least 5 of the 10 major insurers in Florida. How will these new guidelines and requirements affect Florida’s students if this bill passes? BLOG on health insurance here.
