Student Health Insurance Bluefield College requires all students in the traditional on-campus baccalaureate program taking 6 credit hours or more to have health insurance. All students will be charged the health insurance fee to their student account. The health insurance fee is based on the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act . Students who already are covered by an outside health insurance provider will need to waive the College’s health insurance. This policy also applies to international students. There are no exceptions. Any questions regarding student health insurance should be directed to Student Development. The Office of Student Development will contact students through their Bluefield College e-mail account with specific instructions and dates concerning how to waive the health insurance. The charge for the health insurance is applied to the student’s fall charges and the coverage is for the academic year. The premium amount for the 2017-2018 academic year is $2,360. New students arriving in January 2018 will incur a pro-rated charge and will have ample opportunity to work with Student Development to waive the charge if they have outside coverage. It is the student’s responsibility to waive the insurance in order that the student account and Bluefield College are not charged the cost of the health insurance. Graduate students have an optional plan available at the rate of $3,223 per year.
