Many Boise State students who in the past chose to opt out of the Student Health Insurance Plari are finding themselves hit with a double whammy this year. Beginning this semester, SHIP enrollment is mandatory for full-time students due to a policy recently enacted by the Idaho State Board of Education. Under the police. only students able to prove they carry comparable health coverage may waive Boise State's health insurance. In addition to the mandate, SHIP premiums rose by about 50 percent since last year-up from $243.50 to $369.50 per semester _ now averaging out to $92 per month. Ferd schlapper. executive director of Health Wellness and Counseling Services said the new mandate plus recent premium increases reflect underwriters' concern for cost-effectiveness. "Voluntary plans don't work. Statistics show that only 2 to 8 percent INRJRMA110N GRAPHIC BY DAVID HABBEN will enroll in a voluntary plan.

Insurance from page 1 i' to community clinics: Schlapper said another possibility for making. student health insurance more cost-effective would be the establishment of an in-house health insurance plan for students, funded by students, that would essentially cut out the middleman. "Students would have more say in where their money goes. There could be a SHIP advisory committee where students get td'be involved in the details of the plan," Schlapper said. "They could decide to pay lower premiums or expand their coverage." HWC Services estimates that approximately 75-80 percent of BSU students will utilize the services at some point during their four years of attendance; About 50 percent of students utilize primary care on a regular basis, Last year, HWC Services logged 14,000 visits.
