Student Center for Health and Counseling (SCHC) First Floor Cedar Hall 218-755-2053 www.bemidjistate.edu/students/services/health_counseling/
Student health insurance is a required condition of enrollment at BSU. This condition of enrollment was adopted by the student senate at Bemidji State University in the spring of 2011 for implementation in fall 2011.
The condition of enrollment means that students who register for six (6) or more on-campus credits will be asked if they have a health care policy. If the response is yes, students will be asked to enter the policy name. If the student response is no, they will be informed that they will be enrolled in the endorsed health care plan adopted by student senate.
In the health care policy adoption, student senate selected a health care policy that allows domestic students to have access to an affordable health insurance plan if they do not have access to other coverage or wish to supplement existing coverage. The plan selected by the student senate is United Healthcare Student Resources. Details of this plan and enrollment forms are available at www.uhcsr.com. Students may print it off from this site, fill it out, and bring it in or email it with payment to the Student Center for Health and Counseling (SCHC). Students can also find information about this policy and enroll at the SCHC.
Purchasing Student Insurance
The student plan is available for purchase January 9, 2012, through March 9, 2012. If a student comes to the SCHC for services after March 9, 2012, and do not have health insurance, the student health insurance enrollment fee for the full semester and the date of coverage will begin on the date of payment.
