Inexpensive Colorado Health Plans for Recent College Graduates

It’s that time of year again… time for all the college graduates to find a job before the student loan bills start showing up. It is a time when many college graduates must begin searching for an individual health insurance plan. While it is customary for employers to provide group benefits, in today’s job market it may take a while to find a full time job with great benefits.

If you are a Colorado resident looking for an inexpensive way to insure yourself, then it pays to look closely at Colorado health insurance plans. Many Colorado health insurance companies will try to sell you more insurance than you really need, which can make an individual health plan cost-prohibitive.

Here are a few ways college graduates can save money on an individual health insurance plan until they are able to enroll in an employer’s group plan.

• Single people between the ages of 20 and 39 can purchase an individual health insurance plan that covers serious illnesses only. The premiums on these plans are much lower, but the out-of-pocket costs can be high, so be sure you are able to cover the cost of doctor's visits and routine tests.
• If you buy a high-deductible Colorado health insurance plan, consider enrolling in a health savings account (HSA) to cover expenses not included on the plan.
