Student Health Insurance

2023-2024 Student Health Insurance Information will be available June 15th. 

All Full-Time Undergraduate Students are automatically enrolled in and billed for the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). If you are insured by a plan that provides comparable coverage, you can request to waive the 2022-2023 SHIP. The cost for the 2022-2023 Lake Forest College SHIP is $2100.00. Click here for more information. 

Steps to Submit a Waiver:

• Go to www.gallagherstudent.com/LakeForest.
• Log in (if you haven’t already) by following the instructions on the website.
• Click "ENROLL" or “WAIVE” on the Plan Summary tile.
• Follow the instructions to complete the form.
• Save a copy of your reference number.

Please note: Gallagher will audit or verify your waiver request. This is to make sure your insurance plan will cover you when you’re at Lake Forest College. Here’s how the waiver review process works:

• Gallagher Insurance will check the insurance company information you entered on your form to make sure it’s accurate and that your coverage is active.
• Gallagher will verify most waiver requests within 1-2 business days.
• Once Gallagher verifies your coverage, they will email you at the address you provided on your form to let you know if your waiver request was approved or denied. If we deny your request, we’ll tell you why. We’ll also guide you should you wish to revise and resubmit your form and supporting documentation.
• If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please reach out to Gallagher: 800-397-5035.

You will be automatically enrolled in the SHIP if a form is not submitted by the deadline of August 15, 2022.

What changes have been made to the Plan for the 2022-2023 Policy Year?

• A copayment will no longer be applied for Primary Care, Specialist, and OP Mental Health visits. The In-Network benefit will be 80% of the negotiated charge after deductible. The Out-of-Network benefit will be 50% of the Usual and Customary charge after the deductible.*

* The information provided above is used as a general summary of change in benefits. For a detailed plan description, limitations, and exclusions, visit our website.

The Team at Gallagher Student Health & Special Risk
