Creighton University Health Insurance Requirements
Ensuring that you are covered by comprehensive health insurance while at college is a critically important step towards your success as a student. Creighton University offers a quality, price-competitive health insurance plan for all students.
If you have questions regarding the Health Insurance Requirement, please contact Marian Brown during working hours at (402) 280-1278.
New and Returning Students are auto-enrolled on the Creighton Health Insurance plan. If a student chooses NOT to enroll, they must waive the coverage.
The on-line waiver process will begin July, 2012 and continue thru September 7, 2012.
It is Creighton University policy that all full time students be covered by a comprehensive health insurance plan* for the entire academic year. Creighton University Health Insurance Requirements can also be found in the Creighton University Student Handbook.
NOTE: The premium for the University-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan will remain on the student’s account unless the waiver process is properly completed before the deadline. This information is required on an annual basis.
A comprehensive health insurance plan fulfills the following requirements:
- Coverage for inpatient and outpatient medical care within the Omaha area. (Emergency only coverage does not satisfy this requirement.)
- Coverage for inpatient and outpatient mental health care within the Omaha area. (Emergency only coverage does not satisfy this requirement.)
- Coverage is currently active and maintained for the entire academic year.
- Offers a lifetime maximum of at least $250,000 in coverage per accident or illness.
Automatic enrollment into the University endorsed Plan will occur and the tuition statement will reflect a charge for the entire premium when Health Services becomes aware of a lapse in the student’s insurance coverage.
