YC Alumni Insurance Program

Despite Health Care Reform, many people will still lack access to coverage.

Of primary interest to new grads is that children can be covered on a parent's policy until age 26, even if they're no longer students. This expanded access may be helpful to many, but consider the following:

  • Coverage on a parent's policy may be expensive
  • Parental coverage may have network or geographic limitations

The effects of health care reform will begin in the fall of 2010 and may not impact many employer plans until policy renewals after the fall. Unless your insurer and employer have chosen to accelerate the effective date, you may need to seek alternatives if you need coverage sooner.

Don't risk going without health insurance, especially when affordable options are available. Most products are available to family members as well.

Pet Insurance

A recent survey predicts that pet parents will spend $12.2 billion on veterinary care in the coming year. Woof! That’s a lot of scratch.

When your four-legged pal is sick or injured, the last thing you want to do is worry about the financial strain. Instead, you can be prepared with pet insurance coverage, available at discounted rates through the Alumni Insurance Program. In addition to accidents and illnesses, Petplan offers full coverage for hereditary, congenital and chronic conditions.

This year, make a resolution to visit the vet regularly—even if your pet is healthy—and give your four-legged pal some extra protection.

Safe Travels This Summer!

Summer is a great time to get away, but there are some lessons you don't want to learn the hard way, which is why the travel insurance is available through the Alumni Insurance Program.

What if...

  • You have to cancel your vacation due to a family emergency?
  • You require medical care while overseas?
  • Your luggage is lost in transit?
  • Your tour operator goes out of business?

Whether you're traveling alone or with a group, on vacation or on business, don't be left stranded—physically or financially. Consider Travel Medical and Trip Protection coverage.
