Cardinal Care Students to Experience Premium Hike with New Insurance Provider

October 6, 2025 - 09:16

Students enrolled in Cardinal Care will see an increase in their annual health insurance premiums following the transition to Wellfleet Student as the new provider. This change has raised concerns among students who rely on the insurance for their healthcare needs.

The decision to switch providers was made in response to various factors, including the need for enhanced coverage options and improved services. However, the resulting increase in premiums has left many students worried about their financial burdens.

Wellfleet Student aims to offer a range of services, including mental health support and telehealth options, which could benefit students in the long run. Despite these potential advantages, the immediate impact of higher costs raises questions about accessibility and affordability for students already facing financial pressures.

University officials are urging students to review their options carefully and consider their healthcare needs as they navigate this transition. As the academic year progresses, it remains to be seen how this change will affect overall student satisfaction and health outcomes.
