For those of you who, like me, are still trying to figure out the health insurance situation, here's a link to NU's plan through Aetna.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is what we get automatically if we don't opt out. I haven't yet explored other options, but I know some people on this board (and others I've met) have said there are cheaper and better alternatives.

To be honest, it's not really the best deal, and I for the life of me can't understand why it's not cheaper to go through the university (as opposed to private insurance) for a plan. You would think a group plan for 18-30 (or a bit higher) year olds in the prime (health) of their lives would be dirt cheap, but evidently that's not the case. I mean this plan must be a gold mine for Aetna. Large claims have to be really low.
Anyway, the plan I found that seems like the best deal FOR ME is the Blue Choice Select $500/80% plan with an out-of-pocket max of $3,000. And I emphasize for me. I rarely go to the doctor except for a physical once a year. The plan is $159 a month, or $1908 a year, saving me about $400 over the NW plan. The only differences being the deductible is $250 higher and the out-of-pocket max is $3,000 instead of $1,000.
The one thing I'm not sure of, and I think I read this somewhere, is that there are some restrictions on the coverage you can purchase outside the university. I think I read (but I can't find it anymore) something that said you could only have a maximum $1,000 deductible. I called the insurance office and the lady had no idea what I was talking about. She also could not understand why anyone would even think of declining the university's plan and purchasing their own insurance. I tried to explain it to her, but she wouldn't have it. She kept saying that the plan was to protect me from financial ruin. While I understand this, it's not like I'm going out and buying a plan with a $100K lifetime benefit.
Anyway, hope this helps and let me know if you want any information about my research.

It's wicked expensive. And like jb32, I have no idea why. So since I'm not yet 25 (ah the benefits of being young), I'm going to use my dad's insurance until the end of 2009. Then I'll switch to NU's plan for the remainder of the year. I'll reevaluate for the second year.
