St. Olaf Student Health Insurance

 

Health Insurance information for the 2013-2014 academic year will be posted soon. Please check back in early June for costs and more information.

St. Olaf College is interested in the health and well being of our students. As such, St. Olaf requires that all students enrolled at the College have health insurance coverage. If you are not covered under a comparable health insurance policy, you will be required to participate in the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan which is offered through USI Affinity Collegiate Insurance Resources with St. Olaf College’s cooperation. Please click on the link below for the policy information.

Whatever your health insurance has been in the past, please consider the following information when choosing between the available options for 2012-2013. First, many home-based HMO plans do not provide adequate coverage outside of your home area. Emergency treatment is often the only acceptable coverage when received outside of the HMO network of providers. Secondly, if you are considering study abroad, many plans do not provide coverage while outside of the United States. We encourage you to review your current health insurance policy with your parents to ensure that it sufficiently covers you while pursuing your academic interests at St. Olaf.

For those of you who are considering Division III sanctioned athletics, the College carries a separate secondary insurance policy to cover injuries sustained in these activities (see College Sports Medicine for additional information). The Sports Medicine Policy has a $1,000 deductible. This $1,000 can be billed to whatever other insurance policy the student athlete has in place. If you purchase and enroll in the St. Olaf Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan, it will pay for the first $1,000, serving as coverage for the deductible on the athletic insurance. Your current policy may not provide athletic coverage. If you are a student athlete, you will need to complete the Student Health Insurance Form prior to providing athletics with your general health information.

The health insurance waiver and enrollment form for the 2012-2013 academic year are no longer available. If you need to enroll in the St. Olaf health insurance plan for the 2012-2013 academic year, please contact Malinda Townsend at USI Affinity Collegiate Insurance Resources at 800-322-9901.
