Smart Back-to-School Planning for Families

5 Tips to Ensure a Smooth Back-to-School Transition

Although school has already started, it’s never too late to recalibrate the health needs for your children. All families experience the big back-to-school transition in different ways. When it comes to physical and behavioral health and coverage, here are some considerations to keep in mind.

  1. Medical Continuity: Sending a child to an out-of-state school can complicate healthcare. Our expert advisors can bridge the gap, ensuring seamless communication between local providers and home doctors. This prevents disruptions in medication and care.
  1. Cross-State Care: Different states mean different doctors. Our advisors navigate state lines to coordinate care, ensuring high-quality healthcare wherever your child goes to school.
  1. Behavioral Health and Academics: Our advisors act as liaisons between behavioral health providers and educational consultants. They keep doctors informed about medication changes and classroom developments, especially for children with conditions like ADHD.
  1. Extended Coverage: Explore extended coverage options, including out-of-network healthcare and mental health support, crucial during the college years.
  1. Insurance Protection: High net worth families should assess if their insurance adequately covers their children, especially when studying far from home.
