Cost per quarter and coverage dates for Cardinal Care
The premium for Cardinal Care for the 2009 - 2010 academic year is $800 per quarter. Premiums will be included on your quarterly University bill. There is no option to change the coverage period or prorate the premium. See also Coverage Options.
The cost of Cardinal Care is based upon the actual cost and utilization of the plan by our students. Driving the surge in costs are factors such as increases in hospital and physician prices, the rising use of promising but expensive medical technology and the growing use of new, more expensive prescription drugs.
The plan year is from September 1 to August 31.
Cardinal Care coverage corresponds to each quarter of the academic year, as follows:
Policy Year 2009 - 2010
Fall Quarter – September 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009
Winter Quarter – January 1, 2010 to March 28, 2010
Spring Quarter – March 29, 2010 to June 20, 2010
Summer Quarter – June 21, 2010 to August 31, 2010
You are automatically enrolled each quarter that you’re registered
for classes in the academic year. If you want to be covered during
the summer or any other quarter when you’re not enrolled in classes,
