NC Wesleyan University Health Services provides caring, high-quality, accessible health care to our diverse student population. Health Services partners with students, their primary care providers and the local healthcare community. We are dedicated to respecting and protecting patient rights and educating our students, faculty and staff.
Student Health Insurance
All Traditional Day students taking 12 hours or more are required to have health insurance. You may keep your current policy (provided it meets certain minimum requirements) or purchase the policy the University makes available through Wellfleet Student Health Insurance.
Wellfleet Student Health Insurance
Students will be covered for basic accident, sickness and major medical with WellFleet Insurance. All full-time traditional students are automatically billed for and enrolled in the University’s health insurance.
Please be aware that unless you complete an ONLINE WAIVER FORM, by the deadline communicated by Wellfleet and the Business Office, you will be charged for the Wellfleet policy. Contact Business office for details.
Accident Coverage
One of the great benefits of attending NCWU is that we provide accident coverage at no cost to all full-time day students. When you need off-campus medical services for an accident, you must take a CLAIM FORM with you for each ACCIDENT visit. This is to accompany the medical bill. NO CLAIM FORM IS REQUIRED FOR SICK VISITS.
