Where can I find information about my school’s health insurance plan?
Details about your plan, including eligibility, how to enroll, benefits, and co-pays can be found
in your school’s plan brochure. To view the plan brochure,

What options do I have if I or my family doesn’t qualify for a school health insurance plan?
For coverage options for non-students, graduating students, or students that don’t qualify for school health insurance plans, contact Wells Fargo Insurance at 888-717-1100 or
[email protected].
Where can I find my policy number?
The policy number can be found on the cover of
your school’s plan brochure.
Does the cost of insurance change if I purchase after the start date?
Health insurance plans are offered in full terms only. The cost per term is the same regardless of the date of purchase.
When is payment due?
Payment is due in full at time of enrollment. We currently accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card,
American Express, and money orders/bank checks.
Can I receive a refund?
Refunds are only issued for specific circumstances, such as withdrawal from school, entry into the
armed forces, or a qualifying event such as legal separation, divorce, or death. Please see
your school’s plan brochure for more details.
Can I enroll my spouse/domestic partner and/or children?
If your school’s plan offers dependent coverage, insurance may be purchased for them as long as it is for the same term of coverage as the student.
Eligible dependents may include:
- the spouse or legally registered and valid domestic partner who resides with the insured student
- the student’s, the spouse’s, or the domestic partner’s natural child, stepchild or legally adopted child under 26 years of age
Note: Domestic partnership rules vary by school. Please see
your school’s plan brochure for more details.
When will I receive my medical ID card?
Medical ID cards will arrive within 3 weeks of the date your coverage begins. To ensure timely delivery,
please make sure your address on file is current. If you do not receive your card, or if your card is
lost or stolen, call our Customer Care Unit at 1-800-853-5899.
How do I use my medical ID card?
Each time you visit a health care provider, make sure you present your medical ID card.
Your medical ID card gives the provider the information they need to bill your insurance carrier.
The provider then submits claims to the carrier for payment, and any remaining balance owed will be billed to you.
Where do I go for medical care?
First, please visit your campus health center, if available. Please note that some medical plans require
written permission from the campus health center before you visit an off-campus medical provider.
It is not mandatory that you use a provider within your plan’s network. However, you may pay higher
coinsurance, or in some cases, you may not be covered when using an out-of-network provider.
Please see your school’s plan brochure for more details.
If an emergency exists, please call 911.

sign on for your Student Insurance Account to or

What is a Student Insurance Account?

current and past enrollment information, request proof of coverage documents, update contact
