Your WF student’s health insurance requirement – action required
Dear Wake Forest Parents and Families:
Wake Forest requires each student to have health insurance. Your student currently has a charge of $1,362 on their Student Account for Student Health Insurance, because your student has not yet enrolled in our insurance or completed the insurance waiver.
We need you either to enroll your student in our health insurance program or complete a waiver as soon as possible.
If you have insurance that meets the criteria below, please complete the waiver process as soon as possible at bcbsnc.com/wfu. If you do not complete the waiver before September 15, that $1,362 charge will remain on your student’s account (even if you have health insurance that covers them).
Criteria for Waiver:
- Have a lifetime maximum benefit of at least $1,000,000. Plans with per incident, per illness or maximums that are less than the lifetime maximum are not acceptable
- Provide access to health care providers in the Winston-Salem, NC area (Reynolda campus students) or Charlotte, NC area (Charlotte campus students) for emergency and non-emergency conditions, including mental health care. If you have an HMO and Winston-Salem, NC (Reynolda campus students) or Charlotte, NC (Charlotte campus students) is out-of-network, your coverage doesn’t meet our criteria. If your HMO offers guest privileges, you must contact your insurer to receive guest privileges and do so prior to waiving coverage
- Provide prescription drug benefits
- Remain in effect while enrolled at WFU
If you would like your student to be enrolled in the Student Health Insurance, you must formally enroll at bcbsnc.com/wfu.
Please take action as soon as possible. If you take no action before September 15, the $1,362 will remain on your student’s account.
Should you have any questions about the enrollment or waiver process, please contact sip@wfu.edu. We wish your student the best as the fall semester begins!
Best,
Ann
