If I have my own coverage that meets the waiver requirements, how often do I need to submit a waiver application?
Kenyon College requires one completed waiver per academic year at the beginning of the fall semester. For newly admitted students in the spring, you will be required to complete a waiver at this time.
Does the student health insurance cover student medical expenses off campus or when traveling (e.g., to home state)?
Yes, the Kenyon College Student Health Insurance Plan uses the Cigna PPO network which is recognized nationally. As always, please confirm with the provider that they are in-network before services are rendered.
How can I find in-network providers?
You can use the find a provider tool at mycigna.com. While this list is kept up to date, we recommend confirming with both the provider and facility that they are in-network before the time of service to ensure the lowest out-of-pocket costs.
