Spring 2025 Health Insurance Waiver / Enrollment Deadline

January 29, 2025 - 12:00 am
Health and Wellness Center Main 461

THE DEADLINE TO ENROLL IN STUDENT INSURANCE OR SUBMIT THE WAIVER FOR SPRING 2025 is Wednesday January 29, 2025.

Spring 2025 New and Transfer Students: All new and transfer students enrolling in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) for the first time in Spring 2025, will be automatically enrolled in the Trinity Washington University student health insurance plan offered by Cigna. The plan coverage is from 1/01/2025 through 7/31/2025 and allows you to utilize the Health and Wellness Center as your primary care provider while you are attending Trinity.

  • The Spring/Summer 2024 premium of $817.00 will be automatically charged to your student account for the Spring semester if you remain enrolled in the student insurance.
  • This amount is in addition to the $125 for the Health Fee stated above.  Your total cost of insurance and benefits for the Spring semester is $942.00.
  • If you are covered under another comparable health insurance plan, you can elect to complete a WAIVER for the Spring semester to avoid being charged.  A yearly waiver will again be necessary each Fall semester that you enroll in classes full time and have personal health insurance coverage.  The waiver deadline for Spring 2025 insurance is Wednesday January 29, 2025. No exceptions can be made after this date for waiver consideration.  BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO WAIVE THE TRINITY INSURANCE PLAN:
    • We strongly recommend that you check with your insurance provider to assure continued health insurance coverage while at Trinity, specifically for diagnostic testing (lab work and x-rays) and referrals to specialists.
    • In the past, students with high-deductible plans or out-of-state Medicaid plans have had difficulty accessing affordable care while away from their “network”.  Check to make sure that your insurance plan or HMO allows you to access healthcare from the local community resources in Washington, DC.
    • A note about HMOs:  Some HMOs offer guest membership plans which provide healthcare benefits to continue at the same level when away from home.  Please contact your HMO insurance provider to find out if this option is available.
