Student Health Insurance Coverage
Underwritten by the Columbian Life Insurance Company, a Blanket Accident and Sickness Insurance plan is available to Washburn students. Coverage is designed to provide benefits for medical expenses arising from an accident or illness, including those which occur off campus and during interim vacations. Purchase of the health insurance plan is optional and is not required for visits to the campus Student Health Services office, though strongly recommended for other health insurance needs.
