All full time students are required to have health insurance to cover the costs of outpatient treatment of illnesses or injuries, out-patient diagnostic tests and procedures and the costs of hospitalization. Students are covered either by your own insurance plans through family or employee insurance and/or may opt to enroll in an insurance plan that is purchased through the University.  If you elect not to carry the AETNA insurance plan offered through the University, you will have to waive out of it via the Central pipeline.  If you do not waive the AETNA policy, you will be charged for it automatically.

ALL COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT THE AETNA INSURANCE POLICY ARE TO BE DIRECTED TO THE AETNA INSURANCE COMPANY and/or THEIR CLAIM ADMINISTRATORS - CHICKERING BENEFIT PLANNING INSURANCE AGENCY. THE HEALTH SERVICE DOES NOT HANDLE ANY OF THIS INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS. www.chickering.com
