HEALTH INSURANCE INFORMATION
Domestic |
|
All students enrolled in at least 6 credits need to have health insurance coverage. Purchase College’s eBills will show your Health Insurance. If you have coverage of your own, you can waive the school’s insurance off of your eBill. To do so, you would need to log into your myHeliotrope account from purchase.edu/current-students. Once logged in, click “Student Accounts” and then “Health Insurance Waiver.” Answer all of the questions that follow. The cost for Domestic Health Insurance for 2018-19 is $866.50 per semester. Fall 2018 coverage dates are August 15th, 2018 - January 23rd, 2019). IMPORTANT: Although your eBill will be updated almost immediately upon your completion of the health insurance waiver so as to reduce your balance with the College, the waiver will remain subject to further review by the office of the Purchase College Association. This review process will verify the following two points:
If the Purchase College Association finds either of the above two points lacking, the waiver will be removed from your bill. This will result in an increase of your balance due- to include the cost of the College’s health insurance . If your waiver is removed, you will be offered the opportunity to submit a correction to your original waiver. You must meet the deadline you are advised of in such correspondence in order for your correction to be considered. See 2018-19 flyer, here for more information on the health insurance plan offered at Purchase College. |
