Samuel Merritt College requires all students to have health insurance to ensure that they have access to health care in the event of illness or accident. Students are required to maintain their health insurance to cover health care costs not covered by Student Health Services and during periods when the College is not in session.

The College offers a PPO plan through Blue Cross, complete with prescription drug plan, co-pays, vision and dental exams, and ability to enroll dependents, spouse and domestic partners. Students can waive this plan if they have equal or better benefits through an employer group plan that they may be covered under.

Students who do not have other insurance or whose insurance does not meet the waiver requirements are required to enroll in the policy offered through the College. The insurance fee is billed annually to each student unless and until the student provides proof of alternative coverage.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR STUDENTS WHO WISH TO WAIVE COLLEGE SPONSORED HEALTH INSURANCE

Students who wish to waive college sponsored Insurance plan must provide proof of alternative coverage by submitting a completed, mandatory student health insurance form to the Office of Student Services by the date of their orientation . Students who do not meet this deadline will be billed for the annual plan.
