Insurance
WWU requires that all undergraduate students be covered under the MANDATORY Student Health and Additional Accident Insurance at a cost of $941 or $1,772 per year. You may view the Schedule of Benefits on page 6 of the insurance brochure. This requirement will be waived if the student submits documentation of insurance that would cover medical expenses within a 20-mile radius of the university. HMO's do NOT cover outside of the home area. Please complete the Mandatory Insurance Information Waiver Form on myWWU for Campus Health & Wellness before you arrive on campus. By doing this, you will avoid having an "Insurance Hold" for registration. (This form must be completed by every student each year.)
Student Accident Insurance
Walla Walla University provides Accident Insurance for all enrolled, tuition paying, graduate and undergraduate students on the Missoula, College Place, Billings, Portland, Rosario campuses and students in the summer work program. Students are covered up to $3,000 per occurrence. This covers most accidents on campus and campus-owned housing during the school year or term for which they are enrolled. NOTE: It does not cover accidents occurring off campus, with the exception of university sponsored activities. (Please see "Exclusions" section.) Adventist Colleges Abroad students and student missionaries are excluded from coverage. Task force workers may purchase this insurance. Students must actively attend classes for 45 days following the date of enrollment in the insurance programs. Keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive health care policy, but is intended to assist with most emergency situations. The total Accident benefits will not exceed, in the aggregate, a maximum of $3,000 per accident.
ANY MEDICAL COSTS NOT COVERED BY THIS INSURANCE PLAN ARE THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT.
It is, however, the responsibility of the student to report all accidents to Campus Health & Wellness and to file any necessary claim forms. To assist you with processing claims contact A-G Administrators at (800) 853-5899. See the insurance brochure for specific information on coverage. Insurance claim forms may be obtained on campus from the Walla Walla University Campus Health & Wellness (509) 527-2425. Gail Stolz at Campus Health & Wellness is available to assist with insurance questions and claim forms.
We strongly urge you to also carry medical insurance coverage for major surgery, hospital care and other services. As a tuition paying student you are eligible to purchase a WWU Insurance Plan for yourself. This plan can be purchased during student registration or by downloading the insurance form in .pdf format (preferred). Eligible students may also purchase dependent coverage under the Mandatory/Waiver Student Sickness and Additional Accident Insurance Plan by contacting Wells Fargo Insurance 800.853.5899. Eligible dependents are the spouse and unmarried children under nineteen years of age who are not self-supporting, and reside with the Insured Student. All newborn children of any Covered Person are automatically covered at birth for 31 days for an injury of Sickness(excluding routine hospital, nursery, and physician charges). Coverage may be continued for that child when the company is notified in writing within 31 days from the date of birth and by payment of any additional premium. Dependent eligibility expires concurrently with that of the Insured Student.
