Health Insurance

Students are strongly encouraged to carry health insurance, since Student Health Services is NOT health insurance.
If students are currently covered by health insurance, they should check with the carrier to see what arrangements need to be made so coverage continues while at college.  All students should carry health insurance cards with them. Participation in the University of Wisconsin System Student Health Insurance Plan (see below) is required for international students.

Additional coverage must be purchased for Varsity Athletic coverage, for both domestic and international students. Please see below for additional information.

University of Wisconsin System Student Health Insurance Plan:
Designed especially for students in need of health insurance.

2007/2008 Plan Provided Through Student Assurance Services:

Must enroll online (domestic students) or send in via regular mail (domestic students or international students enrolling in additional athletic coverage). Cannot enroll by faxing or calling. Coverage becomes effective on the later of: the Policy Effective Date (8/05/07); the first day of the term for which the proper premium has been paid; or 12:01 a.m. following the date the proper premium is received by Student Assurance Services. All coverage expires on 8/04/08, or when payment is due and unpaid. It is your responsibility to make timely premium payments regardless of whether or not you receive a premium notice.
