Student Health Insurance Information

Lewis & Clark requires that all degree seeking and visiting, Undergraduate and Law students have medical insurance coverage comparable to that offered through the school’s comprehensive Student Health Insurance Plan. For more information on the rationale behind this requirement please click here. Students enrolled in the Academic English Studies program also are held to this insurance requirement. Students at the Graduate School of Education and Counseling may voluntarily enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan. Students do not need to enroll in the school-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan to access services at the Student Health Service. Many services at the Student Health Service are provided at no charge to students.

Lewis & Clark, in partnership with USI Northwest, has selected Aetna Student Health to be administrators of the Student Health Insurance Plan, which is underwritten by the Aetna Life Insurance Company. Please visit the Aetna Student Health website through the link below for complete information on benefits and enrollment for students and dependents.  For students seeking coverage for summer 2013, the College requires $100,00 of coverage.  For students seeking coverage for 2013-2014 academic year, the College requires $500,00 of coverage due to the new requirements of health care reform.  Students that apply for the Aetna plan are encouraged to register for Aetna Navigator which will helps track claims.  You can also print out a temporary identification card and more on the Aetna site.

UNDERGRADUATE AND LAW STUDENTS: Lewis & Clark College requires that all degree seeking and visiting, Undergraduate and Law students have medical insurance coverage comparable to that offered through the school’s comprehensive Student Health Insurance Plan. Students enrolled in the Academic English Studies program also are held to this insurance requirement. Students are afforded one opportunity in each academic year to waive the school’s coverage. The premium for the school’s insurance is charged in two installments, one for the Fall term and one for the Spring term. If students do not submit an annual health insurance waiver, they will be automatically enrolled in coverage through the Student Health Insurance Plan, for the academic year.  For eligible students, information regarding the submission of the online insurance waiver, and the associated deadline, will accompany the first billing statement of the semester. The Fall 2013 waiver will be available on July 3rd, with a Sept 17, 2013 deadline.  Any questions about who is eligible to submit an insurance waiver may be directed to Student and Departmental Account Services at 503-768-7829 or accountservices@lclark.edu.
