The BCBS Student Blue Plan provides comprehensive health insurance that includes access to their networks and pharmacies nationwide, a fitness benefit, as well as reimbursement for designated weight loss programs and access to their “Living Healthy Naturally” discount savings program. The annual cost is $1,741. Your student account will be charged $766 for coverage from August 7, 2009 through January 10, 2010, and $975 for coverage from January 11, 2010 through August 6, 2010.

Refer to the 2009-2010 BC's Student Health Insurance Plan and to the “Summary of Benefits" for more information.

All waiver forms must be submitted through your Agora Portal account by September 18, 2009 for the first semester and by January 29, 2010 for the second semester for students wishing to waive the spring semester only. Students who do not complete a waiver (electronic or paper) prior to the September 18 deadline will automatically be enrolled in and charged the student only premium for BCBS’ Student Blue Plan.

If you waive the insurance at the beginning of the first semester it will be waived for the entire year.
