Recent changes in health insurance law will have an effect on all insurance plans. Here is some information which will help you understand insurance here at Bryn Mawr College.
Primary Insurance: All claims go through this insurance policy first.
Secondary insurance: This insurance policy picks up where the primary insurance leaves off. If a claim is rejected by the primary insurance or is only partially paid, the secondary insurance may pay for any uncovered amount.
If you are a domestic student and you have insurance through your parents that is your primary insurance. The college insurance plan is secondary. If you do not have insurance through your parents, the college plan is your primary insurance.
