DePauw requires all students to annually provide proof of primary health insurance. The option to provide this documentation for the 2022-2023 academic year begins May 10, 2022.
If you have insurance coverage individually or through one of your parents or guardians, you may choose to waive the insurance provided by DePauw University. You must provide proof of primary insurance by September 2, 2022 at 11:59 P.M.; if you fail to do so, you will be enrolled automatically in the university’s plan.
The portal to waive insurance will open May 10 and will be located here. If you waive the University insurance, the charge for the insurance will be removed prior to your September 2022 bill.
International students may not waive insurance provided by DePauw University unless they are currently enrolled in a plan that meets or exceeds the international student plan provided by DePauw University. To request review of a policy to determine whether or not it meets or exceeds the international student plan provided by DePauw, please email Stevie Baker-Watson ([email protected]). International students who wish to waive the University insurance must contact Stevie Baker-Watson ([email protected]) no later than July 25, 2022.
Students participating in intercollegiate athletics may have additional insurance requirements and must also disclose their personal health insurance information to the Sports Medicine Staff. Student-athletes should contact your head coach or head athletics trainer, Kara Campbell, for more information.
DePauw is pleased to announce that we have partnered with EIIA and United Healthcare to provide health insurance coverage for our students.
It is our experience that while most DePauw students are covered by a health insurance plan, some students do not have family coverage or their insurance plan has barriers to accessing care such as high deductibles, limited coverage for services received outside the health plan’s service area or an absence of participating providers in the Greencastle area.
The DePauw-United Healthcare plan offers affordable coverage that will supplement the services provided on campus through DePauw Health. The plan is underwritten by United Healthcare, claims are paid by United Healthcare and EIIA manages and services the program. The 2022-2023 insurance plan premium for domestic students for the period of Aug. 1, 2022 – July 31, 2023 is $2,224.
International students will continue to be automatically enrolled in a health insurance plan offered by DePauw University and international students may not waive insurance provided by DePauw University unless they are currently enrolled in a plan that meets or exceeds the international student plan provided by DePauw University. To request review of a policy to determine whether or not it meets or exceeds the international student plan provided by DePauw, please email Stevie Baker-Watson ([email protected]). International students who wish to waive the University insurance must contact Stevie Baker-Watson ([email protected]) no later than July 25, 2022. The 2022-2023 insurance plan premium for international students for the period of Aug. 1, 2022 – July 31, 2023 is $1,474.
Students participating on an intercollegiate athletics team will need to have personal insurance coverage that covers athletically related injuries. Students can purchase additional athletics insurance coverage through EIIA if their personal insurance lacks the appropriate coverage. The 2022-2023 athletics insurance policy premium for Aug. 1, 2022 – July 31, 2023 is $800.
