Many college students face challenges accessing healthcare due to limitations in their parents' health insurance plans, according to a Forbes report. These plans, often regional HMOs, may not provide adequate coverage or network access when students attend college far from home. A U.S. Government Accountability Office report indicated that while most college students have health coverage, geographical limitations and access difficulties persist, particularly for out-of-state students. Issues such as limited campus health center hours, difficulties with mental health continuity, and the ineffectiveness of telehealth across state lines further complicate student healthcare access.
