Information about Health Insurance Coverage Student Health Services is not health insurance. Student Health Services does not directly provide health insurance for students, and does not bill health insurance companies for any services provided. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain health insurance coverage as a part of meeting their healthcare needs.

Student Health Services has information about low-cost health insurance designed for community college students available in each of our campus locations. Students interested in obtaining health insurance are encouraged to read through the material, determine which options are most suitable for their specific needs, and make their own selection. Because the needs and circumstances of each student are different, Student Health Services cannot make specific health insurance plan recommendations.

Student & Intercollegiate Athletic Accident Insurance Plan

Student accident insurance is provided by Santa Rosa Junior College to registered students in the event of an accident or injury during college sponsored and supervised activities. It may help to cover medical bills incurred by injured students and athletes. There are benefit limitations and some exclusions in the policy, so it is important to work with the Student Health Services staff to insure optimum coverage. Students enrolled at Santa Rosa Junior College, and children using the officially designated childcare facility on campus are covered by the student accident insurance plan. If you are injured on campus:

• Immediately report the accident to your instructor, coach, trainer, or District Police.
• File an Incident Report with Student Health Services within 72 hours. Incident Report forms can be requested from Student Health Services or downloaded from the Environmental Health & Safety Web site www.santarosa.edu/ehs/ehs-forms/increport.pdf
• Contact Student Health Services for information about the appropriate forms to file a claim

Please Note:

1. This policy is secondary to any other insurance you may have. Benefits under your primary plan must be exhausted before this program applies.
2. Medical expense statements must be submitted within 90 days of treatment under this plan to qualify for reimbursement, so don't delay! For questions or additional information, contact Lorinda Miller through e-mail at lmiller@santarosa.edu.
