What is an inexpensive alternative to UC SHIP that gives prepaid access to the Health Center?

• A. Cruz Care
• B. UC SHIP
• C. SlugCents
• D. Other Worlds Laboratory

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying a cheaper, prepaid way to use campus health services. Cruz Care fits that exactly: it’s designed as an affordable, prepaid option for getting services at the Health Center, so you pay upfront for access rather than paying per visit or after insurance. That makes it the best match for “inexpensive alternative … that gives prepaid access.” The other choices don’t fit the idea of a prepaid, low-cost plan for Health Center access. UC SHIP is a full health insurance plan rather than a prepaid access option, so it isn’t the inexpensive prepaid alternative. The remaining two options aren’t related to UCSC Health Center programs.
