Health Insurance Requirements for Wheaton College
Wheaton College requires the following students have health
insurance benefits comparable to the Wheaton College Student
Health Plan:
- Degree-seeking students regardless of the number of credit
hours for which they are registered.
- Spouses and children
of international students residing in the United States
with the student.
- Students on Deferred Enrollment (Consortium,
HNGR, Internship).
- Psy-D students registered for classes
on campus. Off-campus students are not required to meet
the health insurance requirements but have the option of
enrolling in the plan.
- MPPM students registered for credit
hours during their semester on campus.
- ELIC students on
campus registered for credit hours.
- Consortium students
from other colleges.
- Honey Rock students registered for
credit hours.
- Special (non-degree seeking) students registered
for 9 or more credit hours.
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 September 12, 2008. 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.
