What You'll Learn
Waiver options
Students who are enrolled full-time at WIU will automatically be enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan provided by Wellfleet. International students with any visa type are required to maintain this insurance plan and are automatically billed when enrolled for one or more hours. However, domestic students (US citizens and Legal Permanent Residents) have the option to waive the annual premium by demonstrating comparable health insurance coverage that complies with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). For those who do not wish to enroll in the WIU insurance plans, other coverage benefits may be available through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Healthcare.gov provides information on the various plans offered through this marketplace.
It is important to note that even if a student chooses to waive the Student Health Insurance Plan, they can still utilize the services provided by the Beu Health Center at no additional charge. The center offers medical services for injuries or illnesses and outpatient treatment for mental illness or substance abuse. Additionally, WIU offers voluntary long-term disability coverage through Prudential for its employees. This coverage provides financial support if an employee becomes unable to perform their job duties, paying out 2/3 of their average monthly earnings.
