Health Insurance Notice For Students

Summer 2013

Your Health Insurance Requirements

Dear New Student,

 

Wheaton College is proactive about providing a healthy environment for our community of learners.  To ensure that students get the medical care they need to stay in class and to avoid the potential hardship of incurred medical expenses all degree-seeking students and all special students taking 9 or more credit hours are required to possess health insurance.  Domestic students are required to either waive by providing their existing comparable health insurance information or enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan administered by Gallagher Koster.   International students and their dependents are required to enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan.

 

ü  As a new student, your student account may be automatically billed the summer term insurance premium based on your registration.  This charge may only be removed by visiting the Gallagher Koster web site and completing the insurance waiver by June 28, 2013.

ü  The online insurance waiver will be available for submission beginning April 2, 2013.  Students who take no action by the submission deadline of June 28, 2013 will remain automatically billed and enrolled in the plan, no exceptions.

ü  To submit an online waiver visit www.gallagherkoster.com/wheatonil  and create an account using your Wheaton College ID number.  Once your account is created, click on “Student Waive.” Select the red       “I want to Waive” button and complete the online form.

ü  Students will receive a confirmation number as proof of successfully submitting a waiver form.

 ü  For questions regarding eligibility of enrollment for yourself or your dependents please contact us by email at health.insurance@wheaton.edu or call 630-752-7429.  If your account has been billed, and you will not be submitting a waiver, please contact us to verify your information so an insurance card can be mailed to you as soon as possible.
