Wake has some interesting "rules" for their student health insurance.
Situation:
Graduate student, at Wake, over age 26, no longer eligible for parent health coverage. Has had health insurance through Wake with premiums split, half paid by Wake, half paid by student. Student received degree from Wake in May and will be employed by a different corporate entity not related to Wake as of July 1. New employer will be providing health insurance coverage beginning July 1.
Wake is insisting that now Wake alum pay for health insurance until July 31, end of Wake's fiscal year, because it is a non-cancellable policy. And, because now graduated student is no longer a student, student is required to pay all the premiums for June and July.
At the very least, this seems redundant. Would the individual even be able to file a claim against the Wake health policy during July as she would also be covered by the new employer's health insurance.
Does it seem odd that a health insurance plan isn't cancellable after change of status and departure from the corporation that the plan comes from?
Its not a lot of money, but seems like a very strange rule, particularly for a university who knowingly has a lot of people changing status in May each year.
