 All full-time students are required to have health insurance coverage while attending Colby. All students are automatically enrolled in the plan and billed the $645 annual premium. A student may waive participation in the plan by documenting that he/she has comparable coverage under another insurance policy. Documentation of coverage must be provided annually by fully completing the waiver form. This form must be submitted by August 1, 2008. No refunds will be granted after September 1, 2008.
All students may use the health center, regardless of whether they remain enrolled in the Commercial Traveler’s plan or use another source of health insurance.
The Student Accident and Sickness Plan is in effect from August 1, 2008, through August 1, 2009, and provides worldwide protection. The plan has a $100,000 limit per claim. This plan has limitations. A brochure summarizing coverage is mailed to all students and also is available online at www.crossagency.com/colby. Parents and students should review the benefits closely and, if considering waiving the plan, be certain that their other insurance coverage is at least comparable to the Commercial Traveler’s plan.
To obtain student enrollment verification for another insurance company, contact the Registrar’s Office at 207-859-4620. | |
