If I have private insurance do I have to purchase the Student Insurance?
No. Undergraduate students are not required to carry insurance and therefore do not need to show proof of insurance. However, all international students and degree seeking graduate students are required to carry health insurance. If you have a private plan that is comparable to our plan from an American-based company, you need to sign a waiver form and provide a copy of your current insurance card to us before the waive out deadline.. This needs to be done each Fall semester between 8/15 and 9/15. If arriving in January for the Spring/Summer semester, you have between 1/15 and 2/15. If coming to campus for the Summer session, you have from 5/15 - 6/15 to waive out. There are no exceptions.
|
If I have private insurance do I need my Insurance card to be seen at the Health Center?
No. When you are seen at the Health Center, we will put any charges incurred on your student account and send an itemized bill to you to file with your insurance carrier. If you have a pharmacy card , you can ask the physician to give you an outside prescription to take to a pharmacy off campus.
|
Can I be seen at the Health Center if I don't have the student insurance?Yes. As long as you are a registered student at the University. If your status changes, such as graduation or a leave of absence, then you can not be seen at the clinic.
