Wheelock College

STUDENT ACCIDENT & SICKNESS INSURANCE PROGRAM
2010-2011 Academic Year

Wheelock College is pleased to announce that we have teamed up with Blue Cross and Blue Shield to provide Health Insurance coverage for our students

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires undergraduate and graduate students, enrolled three-quarters time or more to participate in a qualified student health insurance plan.

Wheelock College is obligated by law to provide the proper measures and to ensure that students will meet this requirement.

Any student that is not covered by a qualifying health insurance program may obtain coverage through the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan, which is an alternative program arranged by the College and administered through University Health Plans, Inc. Please read the brochure provided for specific information regarding coverage.

All undergraduate students are automatically billed the yearly premium for the health insurance, which is included as part of the tuition.

If a student is covered by a qualified health insurance program, the student MUST waive the coverage offered by Wheelock College, either online or by contacting the Health Insurance Coordinator. To waive the insurance, proof of alternate health coverage is required.

The deadline to waive the insurance is August 1, 2010. If a waiver form is not submitted by August 1, 2010 the student will automatically be enrolled in the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan. There will be no refunds.

For more information about the student health insurance program, please contact the Health Insurance Coordinator at (617) 879-2121.
