Accident and Sickness Insurance is mandatory for all residential, international, athletic, and nursing students. All residential, international, athletic, and nursing students enrolled at Schreiner University are automatically enrolled in the Student Accident and Sickness Plan offered by the University unless proof of comparable insurance coverage has been provided during the online web waiver process prior to first day of class each semester. Providing proof of insurance to Athletics does not fulfill the University’s requirement of completing the online web waiver process.

For Schreiner students who do not have comparable health insurance, a Student Accident and Sickness Plan is available through the University.

For the 2012-2013 academic year, this Plan will be administered by Academic HealthPlans (AHP) with ACE as the insurance carrier. The cost for coverage from 6/15/12 to 6/14/2013, Fall/Spring 8/1/2012 to 6/14/2013 is $864. This Accident and Sickness Plan is available to all students carrying three or more hours with optional coverage for spouse and dependents.

This plan is managed as a preferred provider organization with all services and referrals requiring authorization from the Health and Wellness Center. Please contact Health and Wellness between the hours of 9am and 5pm for authorization. When services and or referrals are required after hours, please contact Health and Wellness on the next business day.

There is an optional major medical supplemental which parents/students may purchase for an additional $140. This will increase major medical coverage to $100,000 (per accident or sickness cause) paid at 80% after $100 deductible.

Additional information regarding this insurance plan will be provided during Mountaineer Days and Welcome Week. You may also call (830) 792-7279 or email health@schreiner.edu for assistance with enrollment or the online waiver process.

*Although it is highly recommended for all Schreiner students, the University’s mandatory Accident and Sickness insurance requirement does not apply to commuters. Commuters wishing to enroll in this plan may call 830-792-7279.

Student Accident and Sickness insurance insures students can access health care off campus, consult a specialist, and have coverage for emergency and/or hospitalization. All students are encouraged to carry a copy of their insurance card to avoid delay in healthcare in an emergency and to provide updated information by contacting Health and Wellness at 830-792-7279 any time insurance coverage changes.
