2009-2010 Student Health Insurance
Basic Health Insurance Plan
All students taking 6 or more eligible* credits during fall, winter and spring terms are automatically enrolled in the Basic Health Insurance Plan. Students are NOT automatically enrolled in the Basic Health Insurance Plan summer term, regardless if they are taking 6 or more eligible* credits. Students who want summer coverage must contact Wells Fargo Student Insurance Division at 1-800-853-5899 and tell them that they want summer coverage. Wells Fargo will enroll you for summer coverage and collect your summer insurance premium. The plan is designed to be of benefit to the majority of students including those with other major medical insurance coverage. The premium for the Basic Health Insurance Plan is $38 a term.
*Online course credits will not be counted toward the required 6 credits necessary for automatic enrollment in the Basic Insurance Plan. Only state-support course credits will count toward the application of mandatory fees at SOU.
Optional Supplemental Insurance Plan
Students wanting the optional Supplemental Health Insurance Plan must be enrolled in the Basic Plan in order to be eligible to buy the Supplemental Plan. If you would like to purchase the Supplemental Health Insurance please contact Wells Fargo Student Insurance Division at 1-800-853-5899 or 1-916-231-3399.
