Supplemental Accident Policy

All full-time students taking 12 or more credit hours are covered by a supplemental accident policy provided by Union College. This supplemental accident insurance will pay up to $5,000.00 per injury for deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket expenses not covered by the student’s primary health policy. Please visit https://www.studentinsurance.com/Client/925 for forms, guides and claims.

Be sure to keep all original bills from medical providers—the insurance company wants to see the original itemized version.

  1. Submit all bills to your primary insurance company;
  2. Get an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from the primary company;
  3. Submit the EOB with a claim form and any remaining bills to the address on the claim form.
