Student Health Insurance Reminder Posted on August 5th, 2016 by

health insuranceGustavus students are required to carry health insurance. All full-time students are automatically enrolled into a comprehensive health insurance plan. In order to decline coverage, students must complete an online waiver verifying other health insurance coverage. The waiver is available online until September 2, 2016. Detailed primary insurance information is needed to complete the waiver.
The 2016-17 Gustavus student health insurance program is administered through Consolidated Health Plans (CHP).  The plan is part of the First Health Network (this is the same as the 2015-16 plan). The plan is effective August 1, 2016 – July 31, 2017. It is a very competitive plan with a $250 deductible and $2500 out of pocket maximum (for First Health Network providers). The annual premium is $1749.  All students MUST choose to either ‘Waive’ or ‘Enroll’ in this plan.  Once the waiver is complete, the student’s account will be credited.
When completing the waiver or enrolling, please be sure to follow the website instructions and enter a 10 digit ID number.  This will require entering 3 or 4 zeros in front of your Gustavus ID (i.e. if your student’s Gustavus ID is 1234567, you would enter 0001234567).  If you have specific questions, please email health-service@gustavus.edu, or you can call the Health Service office at 507-933-7630. Please note that the Health Service is closed until August 15th, 2016. A staff member will be available to answer questions on Wednesdays from 9 am-12 pm all summer long. Staff will be responding to phone messages and emails at that time.
