Student Health Insurance

Central Oregon Community College does not offer student health insurance. At the same time, the college does not require students to have health insurance coverage in order to enroll in courses and to participate in related activities and events. However, under the Affordable Health Care Act there is a fee for people who do not have health insurance.

COCC's insurance company has informed us that due to the Affordable Health Care Act, the benefits that must be provided by the act, the costs, and the risks that the insurance companies must take in providing the coverage, insurance companies will no longer be able to provide student health care insurance for higher education.

If this changes, COCC's insurance company will let us know and direct us to which insurance company is offering coverage for students in higher education.

Therefore, at this time there will not be any student health care brochures available for students.

The fee for not having coverage

There is no student exception to the penalty of not having health insurance. This means that you must have qualifying health coverage or pay a fee on your federal tax return. In 2017, the penalty is 2.5% of household income or $695 per adult and $347.50 for each child, whichever is higher. The penalty rises yearly with inflation.

Contact the Student Life Office at (541) 383-7590 if you have additional questions.


* Cascades East Transit (CET) is the local bus line serving both the east and west sides of Bend. An unlimited use monthly Zone 1 pass normally sells for $30 to the general public. The college has an agreement for our students that allows COCC to supplement this cost and make them available to students for just $10. Multizone passes are available at a discount as well. Not only is this a great value - it also eliminates the need to find parking on campus. To view maps of the CET routes, visit the website forCascades East Transit.
