Health Insurance
To ensure all Beloit College students have adequate medical and mental health care, all students will be opted-in to Beloit’s Wellfleet student health insurance.
The 2024-25 yearly student health insurance cost is $2,274, with $953 billed to students for the fall semester and $1,321 for the spring. Opt-in health insurance and competitive vendor vetting allow Beloit College to better manage healthcare coverage costs.
Students who are covered by other, comparable medical insurance have until July 15, to complete an online opt-out waiver.
- Should you decide to waive coverage, Wellfleet will need to confirm your coverage before the waiver is approved.
- If you have Medicaid coverage from any state, you may opt out of Wellfleet coverage.
- If you have a medical plan whose costs you share with others, such as Medishare, you must accept the Wellfleet coverage.
- If you are an international student, you will automatically be enrolled in this coverage as required by your visa.
- Your healthcare coverage must be confirmed annually.
Whether you have your own insurance plan, or choose to enroll in the college’s plan, please note that you are responsible for paying your own medical expenses. Any medical expenses incurred will be billed to you and/or your insurance by the healthcare providers you see. Do not send insurance claims to the Health and Wellness Center or Athletics. Please plan to bring a copy of your insurance card and carry it with you at all times.

Health Insurance

If proof of insurance form (waiver) or enrollment in the Wellfleet plan (selection) is not completed by the deadline, students will be enrolled in the Wellfleet plan and $849 will be billed to their students account. Insurance charges cannot be removed from the tuition bill.
Whether you have your own insurance plan, or choose to enroll in the college’s plan, please note that you are responsible for paying your own medical expenses. Any medical expenses incurred will be billed to you and/or your insurance by the healthcare providers you see. Do not send insurance claims to the Health and Wellness Center or Athletics.

You must submit the Wellfleet Insurance Form to either enroll in the insurance or opt out. This form is available in the Student Health Portal. For more information about the Wellfleet insurance please visit their website at Wellfleet.
IF YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE
Check with your health insurance plan to see if you have coverage in the Beloit area. Prepare yourself before you get sick by knowing which hospitals, clinics, and providers are “in-network” and what services are covered by your insurance or excluded from coverage. If you plan to see the on-campus nurse practitioner, then check your insurance to see if Beloit Health System is an in-network provider.
If you currently have out of state Medicaid, please be aware that most services are not covered out of state. Please check with your own insurance to make sure you understand coverage. We strongly suggest that students with out of state Medicaid enroll in the Wellfleet insurance to provide coverage locally while at Beloit College.
If you will be using your own insurance, please complete the Wellfleet Insurance
Form on the Student Health Portal and fill out the waiver information by the deadline to avoid being billed for the Wellfleet insurance.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE
Please enroll in the insurance plan on the Wellfleet Insurance Form on the Student Health Portal.
