2009 - 10 Student Insurance Plan Highlights

All registered students must have health insurance (this does not include Worldwide Students)! Enrollment is automatic—your student account will be charged the insurance fee. Upon enrollment, all insurance information (your insurance card) will be sent to your campus mailbox. For those that do not have a campus mailbox, your insurance information will be sent to Health Services and you can stop by and pick up the information. If you already have insurance, you may waive out of the student plan—the waiver period begins July 1, 2009 and the deadline is August 31, 2009.

The Student Insurance Plan offers you:

  • Year-round coverage available – August 15, 2009 through August 16, 2010
  • Access to UnitedHealthcare’s nationwide network of health care professionals, including primary care and specialist doctors.
  • Travel Assistance Services and Worldwide Medical coverage while traveling abroad.

Who is Eligible?

  • All registered Domestic students taking credit hours are required to purchase the Basic Benefits of this insurance Plan. Insured students may purchase Major Medical Option I or II on an optional basis.
  • All International students who are in traditional academic programs are required to purchase the Basic Benefits of this insurance Plan. All insured students may purchase the Optional Catastrophic coverage on an optional basis.
  • Eligible students who do enroll may also insure their Dependents. Eligible Dependents are the spouse or Domestic Partner and their children under 25 years of age who are not self-supporting; who live with the Insured or who are a full-time or part-time student. The Named Insured may also cover a dependent child to the end of the year in which the Dependent reaches age 30 under certain circumstances.

How to Waive Out of this Plan?
