BCBS Insurance for Students with a Spouse
/Domestic Partner (and no children)

A two-person contract is available for students who want to enroll their spouse/domestic partner in the BCBS insurance for individual students. Married students without children will find enrolling in the two-person BCBS contract to be less expensive than enrolling in a family insurance plan. The student must be enrolled in the insurance plan for the spouse to be eligible. The student and spouse each pay the cost of the BCBS insurance ($1128 x 2 = $2,256) and the mandatory health fee ($600 x 2 = $1,200) for a total of $3,456/year for 2008-09. The spouse receives the same insurance benefits as the student, as well as coverage by the mandatory health fee (i.e., coverage of visits to the University Health Service and the University Counseling Center.)
