Seeking medical treatment
In the US, hospitals are used primarily in emergency situations only. If a student needs treatment for a minor injury or illness, or for routine medical care, s/he should go to a walk-in medical clinic (no appointment needed) or make an appointment to see a general practice doctor or specialist.
To find a walk-in clinic or a doctor or specialist that is covered by Cigna StudyWell© insurance, please see the Related Links.

Cigna StudyWell© health insurance is paid quarterly and is automatically added to the student’s bill each quarter at registration.

Coverage Period
For new students: health insurance coverage begins when the student enters the U.S., up to 30 days before classes begin and ends one day before the next quarter’s classes begin
For current students: coverage begins the first day of the quarter and ends one day before the next quarter’s classes begin.
Vacation Quarter
We strongly recommend that students continue their insurance during the vacation quarter to ensure they have adequate coverage. Please note that the Cigna StudyWell© insurance policy provides coverage in all countries except the student’s home country.
Completion of Program
After completing their program, students are covered for 30 days from the last day of their final quarter before returning home. Students can purchase additional insurance for coverage for the entire 60 days of grace period allowed under F-1 regulations. Students who transfer from Walla Walla Community College to another institution will not be covered beyond the last day of their final quarter at WWCC.
