International Students
- International students (including Canadian students) and their dependents who are residing with the student in the United States are required to enroll in the Wheaton College Student Health Insurance Plan. Foreign plans and travel policies are not accepted as they are not considered comparable to the Wheaton College student plan and do not meet the Wheaton College health insurance requirements. Students are automatically enrolled in the Wheaton College student health plan, and the six month premium will be charged to their student account each semester. Please contact the Insurance Coordinator (630-752-5573 or karen.k.mulder@wheaton.edu) if a spouse and/or children will be residing with the student in the United States.
Students Insured with Other Health Insurance Plans
- Please check with your insurance company before
making a determination to waive coverage.
- Students insured
by another health insurance plan that meets the Wheaton
College requirements must complete and submit an online
waiver if they do not want to be enrolled on the Wheaton
College Student Health Plan. Instructions for submitting
the waiver are available at www.universityhealthplans.com
and clicking on Wheaton College. The deadline for waiver
submission is February 6, 2009. Subtracting the fee from
your total bill cannot be a substitute for completing the
waiver. Failure to complete the waiver by the deadline
will result in the mandatory purchase of the College's
health plan without the possibility of later waiver, refund,
or cancellation.
- Other health insurance plans must have
benefits comparable to the Wheaton College Student Health
Plan. Each student is required to have coverage in the
Wheaton area for emergency and non-emergency illness and
injury including follow-up care to emergency room treatment.
- All health insurance plans must have a United States customer service telephone number for benefit verification. International customer service telephone numbers will not be accepted.
- If
the other health insurance coverage is an HMO plan, the
primary care physician on record must be within a 4 hour
radius of the Wheaton College Campus.
- Students should carry
their medical identification card with them at all times.
- Students may be enrolled in the Wheaton College student health insurance plan at any time during the policy term if there has been a change of status with their other health insurance. Please contact the Insurance Coordinator (630-752-5573 or karen.k.mulder@wheaton.edu) for more details.
