    • Student Insurance Information

    If you have a Student Insurance charge on your account for the term, and you have insurance on your own, you can waive the charge through the link below.  If you waived the Insurance charge in the fall and you don't need it for the spring, no response is required.  It is very important that the waiver be submitted online if the student is covered under the parents' medical plan.  If you do not have medical insurance coverage, it is mandatory that you purchase the policy provided to you through LaGrange College.  The student will be prompted to enter their current insurance information, including the Provider's name and Policy (or Group) Number.  For information about the College's Insurance policy and the deadline for response, please visit the Business Office located in Banks Hall

    WeCare TLC Health Services

    • Q: Is there a cost to visit, or will there be a claim against my insurance?
    • A: No, there is no cost nor will there be an insurance claim.

    • Q: Is there a cost for medications?
    • A: If medicines are filled at WeCare, there is no cost. If you require a medication WeCare does not stock, it will need to be filled at a pharmacy at your cost.

    • Q: Where is WeCare located?
    • A: On the corner of Forrest Avenue and Dallis Street – directly across from the LC Soccer Complex.

    • Q: Can my friends go with me?
    • A: Due to limited space in the waiting area, please do not take all your friends with you!

    • Q: May I still go to Emory Clark Holder Clinic?
    • A: Yes, you may go to Emory Clark Holder Clinic or any other physician office or urgent care center, but it will be at your expense and filed on insurance. The College’s arrangement with WeCare replaces the no fee service arrangement with Emory Clark Holder Clinic.

    • Q: If WeCare is closed, where do I seek medical care?
    • A: Unless it is an emergency or an accident, we suggest you wait and schedule an appointment at the clinic. All emergencies and serious accidents will be referred to a hospital emergency room and filed with insurance.
