Wentworth Institute of Technology

STUDENT ACCIDENT & SICKNESS INSURANCE PROGRAM
2007-2008 Academic Year

Dear Student:

The State of Massachusetts requires that all students enrolled in 9 or more credits or registered for coop must be covered by health insurance.

To comply with the law, Wentworth Institute of Technology requires all students to either waive or enroll in the coverage offered through University Health Plans.

Before waiving the Wentworth Institute of Technology Student Accident & Sickness Insurance Plan, please ask yourself the following questions:

• Is the deductible in your insurance plan higher than the annual cost of our Insurance Plan?
• Does your health insurance plan limit coverage at age 19? If your plan does, you may want to consider enrolling in Wentworth’s plan.
• Does your plan offer medical benefits comparable to those offered by Wentworth’s plan? Compare our plan to others and you will find an extremely comprehensive plan at a reasonably low cost.
• Are you covered by a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) or other such insurance plan? If you are, be warned that many do not cover you unless services are obtained within their own health facilities and/or unless you have been given prior approval for treatment. Would your insurance require this?
• All foreign students are required to purchase this coverage. Foreign insurance, including Canadian coverage, will not be accepted.

Our 2007-2008 student health insurance plan will be underwritten by Nationwide Life Insurance Company, and serviced locally by University Health Plans, Inc. We believe quality service will continue to be provided to our students and the Nationwide Life Insurance Company premium is very competitive. The annual premium for this program is outlined below:
