Health Insurance

Geneva College cares about the health and well-being of each student. We want to do all we can to ensure that students seek and receive medical attention (for both physical and mental needs) as soon as possible. Therefore, in addition to having an on-campus Physician Assistant (PA-C), Geneva College requires that ALL full-time traditional undergraduate students must carry health insurance. Students must be established with a primary care physician.

To help our students comply with this policy, each full-time traditional undergraduate student will be enrolled in a University Health Plan through Geneva College, UNLESS the student completes an online waiver with policy information showing that they already have health insurance coverage.

Note: Health Services does not manage the health insurance, please contact the Geneva College Business office at 724-847-6543 with questions.

Information about the health plan and waiver process are detailed below:

• Full time students will be automatically charged for health insurance unless they complete and submit the insurance waiver on an annual basis.
• Students will be charged the $1,771 premium starting 6/29/22 (if no waiver has already been submitted) once they are registered for 12 or more credits. The charge will be removed once their waiver has been processed.
• This is an ANNUAL waiver process
• The cost for the insurance will be $1,771 for 22-23 academic year, all billed in Fall
• Coverage runs from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023
• Waiver deadline is September 9, 2022. Students that do not complete the waiver form by this date will be charged for coverage. The $1,771 becomes non-refundable according to our policy after September 9, 2022.
