Insurance Resources

West Chester University offers a health plan designed for students through Consolidated Health Plans. For more information on this plan, or to enroll in this health plan, please follow this link.

Special Note: In the event of a qualifying event with the loss of insurance coverage, students may still apply for Consolidated Health Plan Insurance. These qualifying events include loss of coverage due to death, divorce, or student's birthday. The student then has 30 days to send a letter to Consolidated from the previous insurer that indicates the date the policy ended. Consolidated will then provide insurance retroactive to the date the previous policy terminated. This information is not in the Consolidated brochure.

Other resources are also listed for your convenience. Look at plans and compare and make a choice based on your needs.

The Foundation for Health Coverage Education (FHCE) offers four unique ways to help you find health coverage in your area:
