Middlebury College requires all students to have primary health insurance. Be sure to check with your primary insurance company to ensure the student will have coverage while attending Middlebury College in Vermont.

Insurance Information

Many insurances cover for emergent and urgent care. Check with your insurance company plan to see if you are eligible for non-emergent/urgent care while here. (For example, Office Visits with specialists, lab work, radiology tests). Also check to see if you have in-network and out of network benefits.

Parents or students who do not feel their coverage is adequate or need insurance can purchase it through Middlebury College. The student will need to re-enroll for this insurance every academic year.

On top of the student’s primary insurance, Middlebury provides its students a $5000.00 accident policy which is secondary to the students home insurance. There is a one (1) year time period from the date of the accident that will be covered.

Beyond the College’s accident policy, the College also carries an athletic excess policy for all its eligible sport teams up to the $90,000.00 NCAA minimum. This policy as well is secondary to any home insurance and only pays after the College accident insurance mentioned previously has been exhausted. The athletic insurance policy covers the athletic injury for up to 2 years from the date of injury.

Middlebury College Athletic Insurance provides coverage after your own insurance has paid its portion. It only covers injuries that occur during traditional in-season practices or games. Middlebury College Athletics “Excess” Policy applies to Varsity, Club Crew and Rugby teams.
