Health Insurance

Welcome to the Bryn Mawr College Pre-Medical enrollment site. We highly recommend any student interested in purchasing the insurance to proactively enroll in the plan. This will ensure you receive your insurance ID card in a timely manner.

Please review the plan information to make an informed decision. If you have any questions or need assistance please contact [email protected].

Eligibility
All pre-medical post baccalaureate students who are registered at Bryn Mawr College

Are required to purchase this plan unless proof of comparable coverage is furnished. Hard waiver students are required to have health insurance to attend Bryn Mawr College – Pre Medical Program.

All pre-medical post baccalaureate students who are registered at Bryn Mawr College will have the premium charge applied to their billing statements. If you choose to waive the College health insurance plan, this charge will be removed from your bill within ten business days. If you choose to enroll in the College health insurance plan, this charge will remain on your bill.

For those students who do not submit an approved waiver form before the deadline, you will be automatically charged and officially enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan. Once enrolled there are no refunds or cancellations. (Please note, automatic enrollment will occur AFTER the waiver deadline.)

Students must actively attend classes for at least the first 31 days after the date for which coverage is purchased. Home study, correspondence and online courses do not fulfill the Eligibility requirements that the student actively attend classes.

Deadlines:

Annual Enrollment Deadline: 5/31/24
Cost

The cost of the plan for all pre-medical post baccalaureate students is $3,757 for the coverage period of May 21, 2024, through May 20, 2025.

This cost is subject to change for students who sign up for coverage beginning with the spring 2025 semester.

Waive out of the Student Health Insurance Plan

The Bryn Mawr College students are required to complete the online waiver process each academic year.

Any student failing to complete the online waiver by May 31, 2024 will automatically be enrolled in the student health insurance plan and your account will be charged for the cost of the insurance. Once enrolled the plan cannot be cancelled and no refunds are available.

Please understand your primary insurance plan must offer coverage in the Bryn Mawr area for all emergency and routine care. Out of state HMO and Medicaid coverage outside of Pennsylvania may only cover you for emergency care. You would need to return to your home state for any routine care.

If you waive the student health insurance plan you will only be able to enroll in the plan if you experience a Qualifying Life Event.

If you have any questions or need assistance please contact [email protected].
Individual Health Insurance Options

Bryn Mawr College requires students to maintain health insurance to assure there is no disruption of their education due to the financial impact of an unexpected illness or injury. Students are not required to purchase the student health insurance plan sponsored by the College and can purchase coverage meeting all of the standards of the Affordable Care Act.

Bryn Mawr College has secured the services of UROne Benefits to assist students with a search of alternative health insurance plans. You can reach UROne Benefits at 800-722-7331.
Will Your Health Insurance Protect You While You Are Away at College?

The insurance plans offered either through your parents’ employer or in the Marketplace have a variety of options. Some plans will limit coverage and services if the individual is seeking routine medical services outside of their home state.

Most, if not all plans will offer coverage in the event of an emergency, but would require the insured to return to their home state for routine medical care. This can result in significant out-of-pocket expenses or delays in receiving proper care.

Please check with your insurance company to see if they have any options to extend coverage to the Bryn Mawr area. Most of the national insurance companies will expand coverage outside of the home state at no cost to the insured. Some will reference this as a Guest Membership or Away from Home Care.

The implementation of this type of plan can properly protect you and ensure there is access for all medical care while you are away from home. The process can take up to 60 days to complete, so please contact your insurance company in advance to arriving on campus.
Qualifying Life Event

Eligible students who lose their current coverage through no fault of their own may enroll in the school plan as a Qualifying Life Event. You must enroll within 30 days after losing Coverage in order to be eligible. Please complete the Qualifying Life Contact Form. Once this form is received, you will be notified with the pro-rated premium based upon the date you need coverage to begin.
