This webpage is a brief description of the Student
Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan made
available to Colby College students. This plan
provides benefits for covered accidents and sickness
that occur on and off campus, on a worldwide
basis, 24 hours per day, during the period
for which premium has been paid.
Colby College requires that all full time students
carry health insurance. Students must verify that
they have other adequate insurance coverage of
at least $100,000 in order to waive automatic
enrollment in the Student Accident and Sickness
Insurance Plan. All students at Colby College have
access to the services at the Garrison Foster
Health Center whether they remain enrolled in the
insurance or choose to waive it. If you currently
have coverage, it is your responsibility to determine
that it meets or exceeds the coverage available
through the Student Accident and Sickness
Insurance Plan. Often a student covered by a parent’s
plan at home, has limited or no benefits while
at College, other parts of the U.S. or in a foreign
country. When reviewing your current medical
insurance coverage, be sure it provides coverage
to students who are over the age of 19, that it provides
access to care in the State of Maine, and
provides comprehensive coverage, extending
beyond emergency care to include physician and
hospital services. Students wishing to supplement
their existing coverage by remaining in the Student
Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan available to
Colby College students may do so.
All students will be automatically enrolled in the
Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan.
Students who wish to have the expense for this
coverage removed from the College charges
may do so by providing other insurance information
online. See the section titled “Online Student
Waiver Process” for directions on waiving the
insurance plan. The deadline to waive coverage
is August 1, 2007. For those students beginning
in the Spring Term, the deadline to waive coverage
is January 1, 2008. Students who complete
the waiver by August 1, 2007 do not need to complete
the waiver again for January. No waivers
will be accepted after the deadline.
