Health Insurance Waiver Deadline

Most St. Kate’s students are automatically enrolled in health insurance unless they choose to opt out of this option by Sept. 24.

All St. Catherine University Baccalaureate Day and Associate degree-seeking students are required to be covered under a health insurance plan. In order to ensure that all students have coverage each student is automatically enrolled in and billed each semester for an insurance plan offered through the University from Aetna Life Insurance Company.

Information about the insurance plan, including detailed waiver process instructions, will be mailed to each student's permanent address on or around August 15.

Health insurance billing

The annual cost of the premium is $1,492 ($746 billed each semester). The plan provides coverage from August 15, 2010 through August 14, 2011. This cost is not included in student tuition or fees. Detailed information about the plan can be found on the University's Health Insurance website.

All students will see the $746 charge posted to their student account each semester. However, students who already have comparable coverage can waive coverage under the University's plan logging on to KateWay, going to the Health Insurance website and supplying all required information (insurance company name, policy number, policy holder name, emergency contact information).

Waiver deadline: Sept. 24

The deadline for waiving health insurance coverage is Friday, Sept. 24. Those who waive the coverage by the deadline date will see a $746 credit on their student account the next day. Students are required to waive participation in the plan each year; completing the waiver in the fall automatically waives participation for winter semester as well.
