Student Health Insurance Waiver & Enrollment Process

Insurance for On-Campus Students

Prescott College requires that all on-campus students have health insurance coverage. Every student will be enrolled in the Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan available through Prescott College. Alternatively, you may waive out of the plan by providing proof of comparable insurance coverage by the waiver deadline.

Enrollment Process: if you don’t have health insurance

If you do not have health insurance you will need to complete the enrollment form. If you don’t complete either the enrollment or waiver form by the closing dates, you will be automatically enrolled in the Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan and your student account will be charged. Insurance ID cards will be mailed in September to the address you provided. A temporary card can be issued upon request after the deadlines have passed.

Waiver Process: if you already have health insurance

If you already have health insurance, you must complete the Health and Wellness Student Insurance Online Waiver. If you do not complete the online waiver process by the designated date, you will be automatically enrolled in the Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan and your student account will be charged. The waiver is filled out once per academic year and good for both terms that year. However, if a student misses the waiver deadline, they will be enrolled in Aetna and charged for both terms.

For questions about coverage and claims please call Aetna at (866) 378-8885. For questions during the waiver process, please call USI at ​(800) 853-5899.
