Can I get health insurance in Oregon while attending college there (non-oregon resident)?

Dec 07, 2008 by ls.star08 | Posted in Insurance

I will be attending Portland State in Oregon and would like to have health insurance while I am there. I am legally a resident of Michigan, and I do not plan on changing my residency while attending school. Will I be able to buy health insurance in Oregon?? It seems like going to any doctor in Oregon with MI health insurance will be expensive since it's out of network. Also, I do not want to use the universities health insurance since it has very poor coverage.

The best option is probably to obtain a health insurance plan in Michigan that has a network that has doctors in Oregon.

Most Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance companies have a program that allows you to pay in-network amounts when you are out of state and go to a doctor in the network of the Blue Cross or Blue Shield company where you are.

Can anyone give tips for taking the Oregon Life & Health Insurance License Exam?

Dec 08, 2008 by Bad B | Posted in Insurance

They give you a "Lesson" online which is simply a list of vocab and definitions and very brief outlines of policies, then end with quizes that cover absolutely nothing in their lessons and even provide answers that don't apply.

That is why it is better to take a class instead of taking on-line classes. Go to an insurance school and see if they do a one day prep class to help you pass. It really helps.

Is it state law in Oregon that you must carry health insurance.?

Aug 29, 2007 by WB78 | Posted in Insurance

I work in NC for a company that is based out of Portland, Oregon and I was told that I was required to carry there outrageous health insurance plan due to state law. Does anyone know if this is true and if so does it apply if you reside and work in NC?

OK, if you live and work in NC, you're subject to NC laws, not Oregon laws.

The ONLY state that requires health insurance is Massachusetts. Your employer cannot require you to be on their group health insurance, unless they are picking up the full cost.

Though 2008 was wrought with layoffs and economic struggles, the New Year means rejuvenated hope for job seekers.

While several companies continue to make mass layoffs, other companies are shifting their focus to hire aggressively in the beginning of 2009.

"This is a difficult economy, no doubt," says Andrea Hough, vice president of talent acquisition for ServiceMaster, a lawn care and landscape maintenance company. "However, I would caution job seekers to be thoughtful about whom they are going to work for and not act out of desperation. There are some very strong companies with solid ethics in need of employees eager to be a part of a thriving organization."

If you're looking for work in the New Year, here are a variety of such strong companies in various industries, which are looking to hire a diverse selection of jobs in 2009, despite the tough economy:

1. Company: 7-Eleven

Who they are: A leader in convenience retailing, with approximately 7,600 7-Eleven stores in North America [and] more than 35,000 stores in 17 countries, according to Jim Wahl, the company's manager of talent acquisition systems.
