Accident and sickness insurance
The Accident and Sickness Insurance is automatically included on your tution bill if you are a full time student. If you have your own health insurance you have the option of waiving out of the Accident and Sickness Insurance by using the waiver form. Please consider the following in making your decision:
Your current insurance may not cover the types of expenses most frequently incurred by college age individuals such as outpatient referrals, or may cover them only after a deductible or copayment; college accident & sickness insurance plan helps cover those expenses. If your current coverage is through an HMO or PPO out of the Cobleskill area, services locally may be limited or may be charged to you at a higher, non-preferred rate. We encourage you to contact your health insurance company to investigate your coverage in the Cobleskill area. Coverage through parents' policies may end on a student's birthday, i.e., ages 19, 23, or 25. The college accident & sickness insurance program provides an important level of coverage in addition to Medicare or Medicaid, if those are your only coverages, allowing you greater flexibility and choice in the event of an illness. Coverage is available for dependents and/or part-time students by contacting the Wellness Center. Summer insurance coverage is also available by contacting the Wellness Center.
The campus accident and sickness insurance plan is also available for part-time students, and spouses and dependents of all enrolled students. Contact the Wellness Center at 518-255-5225 for more information.
