Students covered by another insurance plan should determine if there are any changes in coverage while away from home. There may be specific procedures required for access to non-emergency services, in addition to any deductible and co-pay obligations. The College Student Accident & Sickness Plan may be a wise investment as these costs may be covered by the plan. The plan is not intended to replace an existing major medical plan as some of the outpatient benefits are limited; however, it is a great opportunity to supplement existing coverage.

The plan covers sickness as well as accidents on a 24-hour basis, both on and off campus for the entire 12-month calendar year (August 2011 to August 2012). The annual cost of the Basic Plan is $445.00. The price is the same if you come in as a new student for Interterm 2012 or Spring semester 2012. There are additional buy-up options. If a student is a student-athlete, an additional $600.00 rider for collegiate athletics will be added (a total of $1045.00). All Student-athletes must provide proof 

of insurance OR purchase the Bethany College plan prior to the first day of

practice.

Participation in the plan will be mandatory for all full-time students unless evidence of primary coverage is provided by the first day of classes January 30, 2012. New students are permitted to waive the Student Accident & Sickness Plan by going to the EIIA website (www.eiia.org/bethany) and completing a waiver form with detailed primary insurance information. All students will be billed for insurance until the waiver information is received.

A description of the plan, plan coverage and design may be found on the EIIA website at www.eiia.org/bethany, where the waiver is available. Questions or concerns about the coverage should be directed to EIIA’s Student Team at 1(888)-260-7415.
