Students at Research College of Nursing are required to carry health insurance. The college has negotiated an affordable and comprehensive healthcare plan for our students and their dependents through Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Kansas City.
Students with comparable health insurance coverage are able to waive this plan during the designated waiver period each year. Those who do not opt-out by completing the online waiver will be automatically enrolled in the plan and billed the semester premium to your student account.
