In response to the recent changes in health insurance legislation, Cornish will no longer require that students carry insurance as a condition of enrollment.
By no longer mandating insurance coverage as a requirement for attendance, self-insured students no longer need to complete the online waiver form. This also means that students who are currently covered by our plan will no longer be automatically enrolled in next year’s insurance plan. Coverage for students currently enrolled in the Cornish insurance plan through Aetna expires on August 28, 2012.
Students who would like to purchase insurance can directly enroll in our new group policy (see below), or find a plan that meets their needs elsewhere. You will not be automatically enrolled by Cornish. This plan is not billed through Cornish – you must enroll and pay United Healthcare directly.

CORNISH BLANKET ACCIDENT INSURANCE COVERAGE
Cornish will provide blanket accident insurance to cover injuries to students who are hurt in the process of an academic endeavor (class, rehearsals etc). All students are automatically covered under this policy for no additional fee. Note that this coverage is in excess and secondary to any existing primary healthcare insurance plan that a student is enrolled in – the Blanket Accident program may pay benefits after claims have been submitted to the primary insurance carrier. This type of policy ONLY covers accidents on Cornish property during school events or activities and does not cover illness. Additional details and forms related to the Blanket Accident Insurance Coverage will be available shortly on this page.
