Holy Cross College encourages all students to have adequate health insurance and has partnered with United Healthcare to provide an affordable insurance plan. All students should either enroll or waive the Gallagher health insurance plan. The deadline to either waive or enroll is August 1st.
Click here to find the waiver and information about the health insurance offered by United Healthcare.
To opt-out of this coverage, you should show proof of valid insurance coverage and fill out the online waiver.
What does “adequate health insurance” mean?
To be considered “adequate,” the student’s plan should be:
- Based in the United States
- Fully compliant with the Affordable Care Act (ACA/PPACA)
- Offer access to emergency and non-emergency services in and around the South Bend, IN area
As a religious institution, we have arranged for our plan to contain a religious exemption allowing it to support our Catholic faith tradition.
