solving problems
28 March 2002 01:06I think I solved the Insurance Dilemma today.
First off, I signed up for a dental insurance plan. Careington Dental. It's cheap, pays for things, and even comes with a vision plan!!
Secondly, health insurance. I did some calling around to the OU student health plan people and some searching on the OU enrollment page, and found something that works: if I enroll in an internet course for the summer (which would be PSY 1113, which works because I need a social science credit), I am listed as taking 3 credit hours at the Norman campus and therefore meet qualifications for student health insurance. I wouldn't have the best possible savings as I won't actually be in Norman and able to go to Goddard for all my problems, but I would actually get insurance and they'd pay 80% of doctor visits and such after a deductible. Hooray! Only problem is I can't sign up until May 20, so from April 8 - May 20 I'm S.O.L. if I get sick or something. *sigh*
Oh, and I talked to the internet course people and they said there was absolutely nothing in that class that would involve me having to be in Norman, and as long as I have an internet connection in Boston, I'll be fine. Woo!
So yeah, about that nutrition class...
