Insurance

***ATTENTION STUDENTS***
If you have a prescription card or participate in an HMO or have MEDICAID, it is your responsibility to inform the Health Center staff at the time you are seen.

Sickness/Health Insurance
All Hamilton College students are required to have health insurance coverage. Hamilton offers a health insurance policy for those who need additional coverage or to those without health insurance.

Accident/Injury
Student accident / injury insurance is extended without separate charge to all full-time matriculated Hamilton students. Charges not related to accidents are not covered under this policy. This is excess insurance and is secondary to any other collectible insurance covering the student.

The college does not handle direct billing with insurance companies. Students are responsible for submitting their own claims. For students enrolled in the health insurance through the college, claim forms and policy brochures can be obtained at the Health Center or Administration Service Office.

Confidentiality

Medical information is strictly confidential and may be released only with the written permission of the student. The medical record is not accessible to anyone other than the professional staff of the Student Health Center. (In case of a serious medical emergency, family and the Dean of Students' office will be notified.)

Comments

The Student Health Center welcomes suggestions for improved patient care. If you have a complaint or concern about any aspect of the treatment you have received, please bring it to our attention so we may discuss it. Each member of the staff is a skilled professional concerned with providing quality health care.
