Insurance Requirement
All full-time undergraduate students (taking three or more classes) and all full-time graduate students (those in a degree-seeking program and taking two or more courses per semester) attending Bucknell must enroll in or waive the health insurance coverage offered through the University each year. Students who waive coverage of the sponsored plan must provide verifiable proof of comparable coverage. Students are required to complete the waiver or enrollment each year.
If you do not complete the online waiver form prior to Aug. 1, your University account will be charged $3,160 for the price of the policy premium, and refunds will not be available after Sept. 1. Parents or guardians may waive or enroll on their student's behalf.
Questions about the plan or the enrollment or waiver process may be directed to Paige Fritze at bucknell@rcmd.com or 800-346-4075, ext. 1607.
Questions About Coverage
Health insurance coverage can be very confusing and sometimes expensive. It is advised to call your health insurance company to best understand coverage for services in this area before arriving to Bucknell. Please note that Bucknell Student Health will consider all plans, regardless of carrier, as in-network but will not appear in plan-specific websites. Student Health is available to answer questions about where your insurance may be accepted locally.
Please contact the student insurance liaison at insurance@bucknell.edu or 570-577-1159.
