Student Insurance

Bluefield College has always been committed to ensuring students have access to affordable,

quality, and comprehensive health insurance. Bluefield College practices a “hard waiver”

insurance plan through Gallagher Student Health and Special Risk. Gallagher works with

students and parents to help familiarize them with the Student Waive/Enroll process on their

website which is designed especially for Bluefield College to provide information about

the Student Health Insurance Plan. Please visit the website at

bluefield and familiarize yourself with all the benefits of the plan if you choose to enroll in

the insurance. The website is very user friendly and easy to navigate so please take time to

explore.

However, many students will only visit the website with the purpose of waiving charges

from your student account. Please note, the insurance premium is charged annually and not

per semester. Students will see a one-time charge on their student account in August. Please

understand, ALL STUDENTS WHO DO NOT WISH TO BE ENROLLED must prove that

they have coverage by September 2nd each year by completing and submitting the on-line

waiver or this premium will be NOT removed from their account.

Please keep the following in mind when you are making decisions about insurance:

• Providing a copy of your personal insurance card to the Office of Student

Development or the Athletic Department when submitting the Health Information

Packet or Athletic Form(s) is NOT the same as submitting an on-line waiver. All

students are required to include a copy of their insurance card with their Health

Information Packet and to the Athletic Department for record keeping purposes

only. This does not meet the “hard waiver” requirement.

• When discussing “bottom line estimates” with financial aid/BC Central, please

understand they are not actually deducting the insurance premium from your

account. You still have to go online to waive the insurance before you will notice

an official change in your statement.

• The term “hard waiver” means proof of coverage must be furnished or the student

will be automatically enrolled in the college-sponsored health insurance plan and
