Dear Wesleyan
Parent(s) or Guardian(s):
The University
requires all students to maintain health insurance.
Every year, a few students have not been allowed to register or
have been billed for unnecessary insurance because they did not
submit the required forms and thus experienced needless
frustration. Please complete the necessary online forms as soon
as possible.
If you have
private insurance and do not want the university-sponsored plan,
please show proof of insurance (waive) online at
www.gallagherkoster.com. Please remember to keep a copy of
the confirmation page you receive once you have waived online.
(Please note that some insurance companies such as Kaiser
Permanente, Oxford, United Health Care, Presbyterian, and AIG do
not participate in Quest Diagnostics Laboratory, which the
Health Center uses for laboratory services. If you have an HMO
plan or your plan does not cover “out of network” you might
consider enrolling in the university plan).
If you do not
have private insurance
you MUST ENROLL online in the university-sponsored plan at
www.gallagherkoster.com. Your student account will be
billed $786 in September; please do not send payment now.
This year
Wesleyan University will offer low cost student loans to most
students who need assistance covering the cost of the health
insurance policy. Grant aid assistance will be limited. Please
review your financial aid award letter for your specific
eligibility (award letters will be mailed beginning in
mid-May). Since you will not be charged for health insurance
until after the start of the semester, financial aid adjustments
will not occur until that time.
A hold will be placed on your class registration for failure to show proof of private insurance or enroll in the plan by
August 15.
