Student Health Insurance Plan

All full-time students enrolled at Denison University are eligible for and included in the Student Health Insurance Plan.

Enrollment in the Student Health Insurance Plan is required for students who are not covered under a comprehensive family or individual plan or those who are covered under an out of area HMO plan, out of state Medicaid plan or a cost sharing plan.

This plan is optional for students covered under a comprehensive family or individual plan. Please note that a waiver request will undergo verification that your family or individual plan will provide adequate coverage.

Students must enroll or request to waive coverage by July 27, 2023. Lack of a completed waiver request by July 27, 2023, defaults to automatic acceptance of the insurance policy.

Coverage Cost & Billing

The estimated insurance cost for the 23-24 academic year is $1,365. The premium is charged only once per year during the first semester of full-time enrollment for the academic year. This is the fall semester for most students, including fall off-campus-program participants. This charge will appear in the Denison statement.

Coverage Period

2023-24 Year: Coverage beginning 8/1/23 to 7/31/24.

Note on Off-Campus Programs: The Denison Student Health Insurance Plan is an annual plan. Students who are participating in off-campus programs for one semester and expect to be on campus for the other, must accept or waive the insurance for the entire academic year. We urge you to review the plan as coverage is in effect anywhere in the world and includes medical evacuation and repatriation expenses.
