I need to better understand the SHIP insurance benefits. We opted to pay for SHIP in addition to our family's Kaiser insurance and thought we were fully covered. My daughter got very sick lat Friday. The Ashe Center is not open over the weekends. She called the Nurse hotline over the next two days. On Sunday it wa...s determined that she probably had strep and needed to see a doctor. But WHERE TO GO??? The hotline nurses gave me urgent care centers 5-10 miles away. My freshman doesn't have a car. We finally had her walk down the UCLA Med Ctr ER, even though we knew it wasn't a true emergency. Thankfully she was seen and has received medication, but now I wonder whether any of this was covered by SHIP? How are we billed? What do students do on the weekends??? What does SHIP cover? I searched their website and found minimal information for our situation. Students need medical options 24/7. Please enlighten and advise for the future. Thank youRead More

just heard about the outrageous
tuition hike from my daughter! Now I have only weeks to find an extra $585 so
that she can stay in school. Why haven’t I heard about this before? What's the point of having this page titled UCLA "Parents" when all that is posted is fluff! Especially in today's economy, I doubt I'm not the ...only parent who doesn't have that much money or the additional $1,334 hanging around. Thanks for the warning!Read More
