On May 8, Robin Holmes met with the Board to lay out all the policies, which include three different options of varying coverage. Rather than the current system, which requires students to pay $161 per term and a $15 fee for every visit to the Health Center, the new options allow students to choose their level of coverage, which could result in a higher or lower payment per term.

One stipulation about the policies is that each student must choose an option that will result in what is called “platinum” coverage, or that which satisfies the requirements of the Affordable Care Act.

The Board will vote on the policies at its next meeting on June 4-5.
