Important Health Insurance Information

All full-time students must have health insurance. If the student is not covered by a parent or guardian's medical plan, an accident and sickness insurance plan is available to students through Eckerd College.

Domestic Students:

Accident Insurance Plan I is provided by the College and covers the student for the academic year (9 months) at no charge.  All full-time students are automatically enrolled in the Hard Waiver Accident & Sickness Plan II; participation in this plan is automatic and will be billed to your student account unless a signed waiver is received.  The cost for this coverage is $135.00 for the academic year.

International Students:

International Student Plan is available on a mandatory or hard waiver basis only.  All full-time students are automatically enrolled and their student account will be billed unless a signed waiver is received.  The cost for this coverage is $575.00 for the academic year.

To cancel the school coverage, a signed waiver form must be submitted to the Bursar's office by August 9, 2008.  The waiver form is available here; you may download the form, complete and return to the Bursar's office.
