Coverage and Availability
Health services are available to Rosemont students for normal care at no extra charge; these services are covered by the general fee paid annually by all students. Charges for extraordinary care will be made in accordance with current costs. Referral is made to medical specialists as needed.
A consulting physician may be called at the request of either the student or her family, at the expense of the student or her family. It is, however, recommended that she seek help from personnel in the Wellness Center beforehand. When a student enrolls in the College, she must submit a completed physician's medical report. The immunization section on the physician medical report must be completed and current with the recommendation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Health's Division of Immunizations. Pennsylvania law requires that immunizations be up-to-date. The student must also present evidence of valid health insurance coverage. Health insurance is mandatory. Insurance may be provided by family health insurance plans or individual student health insurance plans. Students will automatically be enrolled in the student health insurance plan if evidence of valid health insurance is not submitted prior to the designated deadline.
Information on the student health insurance plan is available in the Student Life Office and the Wellness Center. It is the responsibility of each student to obtain and maintain such coverage. A student will be prevented from registering for courses if proof of health insurance and immunizations is not provided. The College assumes no financial responsibility for medical expenses or medical assistance incurred by the student.
