College Health Insurance

Carthage provides excess health insurance to all full-time, undergraduate students for the academic year.

• Students are automatically enrolled; there is no additional charge.
• Insurance brochures are available from the Health and Counseling Center.
• Questions can be directed to the nurse.

TO USE the secondary health insurance:

• A referral from the nurse is required, unless it is an emergency.
• Contact the nurse as soon as possible after an emergency visit.
• Complete a claim form at the Health and Counseling Center, and submit it to the nurse.

The Health and Counseling Center also maintains primary (family) insurance information if needed.
