Health Insurance-Misenheimer Students
University policy requires that all students taking 12 or more credits each semester be covered under a health insurance policy. Health insurance coverage may be offered through personal or parental employers or via private personal policies (Medicare, hospitalization, major medical).
We are pleased to be able to offer our students a true major medical insurance plan through Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina for 2012-13. Every Pfeiffer student with 12 or more credits will be charged for health insurance on his/her university bill.
Charges are assigned via a hard waiver process. Your student account is charged for the StudentBlue plan premium until you waive (decline) or enroll (accept) the coverage. Enrollment must be completed before actual coverage is assigned.
If you have existing health coverage, you may complete an online waiver that will remove the premium charge from your student account. If you need this health coverage, you must confirm your enrollment online as well.
The open enrollment/waiver period for spring semester begins Nov. 16, 2012 and will end Jan. 25, 2013. Any student who fails to confirm enrollment or waive coverage by the stated deadline will be enrolled by default and no refund of premium will be allowed.
Please note that waiver requests are verified by Blue Cross Blue Shield. Data for waivers and enrollments must be transferred from their system to the university database before charges are removed from student accounts. This process may take up to two weeks. If insurance charges remain on your account two weeks after your waiver is completed, please contact Student Development – (704) 463-3400 - for further information.
International Students.
To insure international students have basic health insurance benefits while enrolled at Pfeiffer University, all international full-time undergraduate students on the Misenheimer campus are required to enroll in the University-contracted health insurance policy. Students may choose to secure additional accident/illness coverage from other vendors at their discretion.
Upon request, University staff will review an international policy to determine if it will be accepted by providers in the US. If the coverage is verified, a waiver of the university sponsored policy will be accepted.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR STUDENT ATHLETES
The BCBS Student Blue plan does not cover athletic injuries. The Athletic Training staff has secured a separate athletic injury policy through First Agency for student athletes who will need to enroll in the Student Blue plan. Please contact the athletic training office (704-463-3215) for further information about the First Agency athletic injury coverage.
