Entrance Requirements 

College Health Services requires a complete medical history, physical examination, updated immunizations, and other forms to be completed by all entering first-year and transfer students. 

In accordance with State and College regulations, the following items are required and can be completed in the Medicat Patient Portal at https://apps.anselm.edu:

  1. Admission Health Report Form
    Includes emergency contacts and your consent to treat.
     
  2. Physical Exam Form
    Must be completed by a medical provider and dated within 12 months of college entry.

    Note for varsity athletes: Exam must be dated within 6 months and submitted to both Athletics and Health Services. Contact us if your insurance restricts timely access.
     
  3. Immunization History
    Manually enter all required immunizations and upload official documentation from your provider.
     
  4. Health Insurance Card
    Upload a clear image of the front and back of your current health insurance card. All students must have insurance.

    Note: Uploading your card does not count as a waiver
     
  5. Philosophy and Mission Statement & Patient Bill of Rights
    Review only—no upload required.

Important Note: The health form packet, received by students at the time of admission, must be completed and on file with the college before you register for classes so proper medical treatment may be given should the need arise during the academic year.

Insurance

All students are required to carry health insurance. Additional details will be available soon.

Managed Care Insurance Information (HMO, PPO, etc.)

All Saint Anselm students are REQUIRED to carry health insurance. 

If you will be covered by an HMO while a student at Saint Anselm College, please be advised that many HMO’s refuse to pay for non-emergency medical care by physicians who are not employed by their health care plan. This may necessitate that you return home for care in the case of an illness that is not an emergency. Also, medications are not usually covered if the medication is ordered by a nurse practitioner or physician outside their plan. 

Medicaid from any state other than New Hampshire does not cover the student for expenses incurred in New Hampshire. 

You and your parent or legal guardian need to be aware of exactly what steps need to be followed in order to ensure that your HMO will pay for out-of-area care in non-emergency and emergency situations. 

The staff at Health Services will do all that we can to ensure that your son/daughter notifies the proper person regarding out-of-area charges for medical care, but ultimately costs incurred will be the students’ responsibility. It is important for the student to know the proper procedures for obtaining authorization for payment from his/her HMO provider. 

Note: Insurance information for citizens of the United States or international students will be mailed to you over the summer or may be obtained from the Finance Office or College Health Services. 

Unless you complete the online WAIVER and proof of insurance, you will be billed for the college health insurance. Read more information about college health insurance and the steps you or your parents need to take. International students may obtain forms from Student Financial Services.
