Fees & Eligibility

All full-time students who are registered in 12 or more units per term (9 units per term for Graduate Program in Visual and Critical Studies students) are considered full-time students and therefore required to have health insurance coverage.

The college has secured a group health and accident policy that provides coverage for up to 12 months each year.

Non-CCA Health Plan

Current students who seek to continue with a non-CCA health insurance plan are required to officially waive the insurance enrollment in the Kaiser Permanente HMO plan. Students will be directed to a website in order to waive out of the CCA Kaiser Health Insurance.

On June 3, 2013, a link to the online waiver website, including instructions, deadlines and policies will be emailed to all students.

Fees

An insurance fee is charged for each term at registration. The fall fee is $934 and provides coverage from August 15, 2013 through December 31, 2013. The spring fee is $1,549 and provides coverage from January 1, 2014, through August 14, 2014.

Waivers

Full-time students may waive mandatory insurance enrollment by submitting an online waiver application. Please see the Waiver FAQ for more information about the online waiver process.

Students must submit an online waiver application by:

Friday, September 13, 2013 (fall term)
Friday, January 31, 2014 (spring term)

Fall waivers will extend through the spring term unless Student Accounts is notified to void the waiver for spring. Full-time status is determined at the end of the add/drop period.

Part-Time Students

Part-time students (registered in 12 units or fewer per term, or 9 units or fewer for Graduate Program in Visual and Critical Studies students) are ineligible for CCA's student health insurance, yet may elect to enroll in individual insurance coverage by contacting Wells Fargo Insurance Services at 800.310.7213.

Part-time students interested in remaining on the CCA health insurance during their final semester must contact Director of Access & Wellness Services Suzanne Raffeld at sraffeld@cca.edu.

Dependents

Dependent coverage (spouse/domestic partner, children, or both) also is available according to the following schedule:

Fall 2013 | Spring/Summer 2014

Student fees
Fall = $934
Spring/summer = $1,549

Add for spouse/partner
Fall = $3,074
Spring/summer = $5,122

Child(ren)
Fall = $566
Spring/summer = $942

Notes: Rates listed above are in addition to the student rates.

Changes in Status

Students who initially register for 12 units per term (or 9 units per term for Visual and Critical Studies graduate students), but who subsequently reduce their units to fewer than 12 units per term (or fewer than 9 units per term for Graduate Program in Visual and Critical Studies students) by dropping one or more courses during the add/drop period will lose eligibility for coverage under CCA’s health insurance plan.

Such affected students may contact Wells Fargo Student Insurance Services at 800.310.7213.

Conversely, students who initially register for fewer than 12 units per term (or fewer than 9 units per term for Visual and Critical Studies graduates students) and then subsequently increase to 12 or more units per term (or more than 9 units per term for Graduate Program in Visual and Critical Studies students) before the end of the add/drop period will be required to enroll in CCA’s student health insurance plan or provide proof of alternative coverage.
