Back-to-School Insurance Checklist for Families

As you stock up on pencils, backpacks, and lunchboxes, don’t forget one of the most important school-year essentials: making sure your family’s health coverage is ready for the year ahead.

 

Whether you have kids heading to kindergarten or college, this quick checklist will help you feel confident, covered, and stress-free as the new school year begins.

 

 

 

✅ 1. 

Check Your Coverage

Make sure your current plan still fits your family’s needs. Have any of these changed since last year?

• A new school or sports program?
• A recent move or job change?
• Your child turning 26 and aging off your plan?
  Let’s talk and make sure you’re not missing any key coverage.

 

 

 

🗓 2. 

Book Those Well Visits

Back-to-school season is a great time to schedule:

• Annual physicals
• Vision and dental exams
• Required immunizations
• Mental health check-ins

Most preventive care is covered at no cost with the right plan.

🦷 3. 

Review Dental & Vision Plans

 

If your plan doesn’t include dental or vision, now’s the time to add it. Many schools require up-to-date vision screenings, and healthy teeth are essential for growing kids.

 

We can help you find affordable add-ons that cover:

• Routine cleanings
• Eye exams and glasses
• Orthodontics, if needed

 

 

🏫 4. 

College-Bound Kids?

 

If your child is heading to college:

• Make sure they’re covered in their new location
• Check if they need travel coverage or a student plan
• Consider supplemental accident insurance for sports and campus activities

We help families navigate this transition all the time.

 

📲 5. 

Update Emergency Contacts & Insurance Info

 

Now’s the time to:

• Add updated insurance info to school forms
• Confirm your preferred urgent care and ER locations
• Make sure older kids know how to access care when you’re not nearby

 

Peace of mind starts with preparation.
