Default into Student Health Plan Due to No Election

Students who have not made an election by the established deadline are defaulted into the Student Health Plan and billed the full cost of the plan. If the student is enrolled in another plan, and that plan has been determined to meet the university’s coverage requirements, a credit may be issued if specific requirements are met.

The student’s plan would be subject to an insurance verification process to determine Student Health Plan waiver eligibility. If it is determined that your plan does not meet the university’s coverage requirements, credit would not be granted, and the student would remain enrolled in the Student Health Plan.

Mid-Year Insurance Change

Students who are enrolled in the Student Health Plan and have a mid-year insurance change, such as new enrollment in another insurance plan, may be eligible for SHP fee credit. The new plan would be subject to an insurance verification process to determine Student Health Plan waiver eligibility.

If it is determined that your new plan does not meet the university’s coverage requirements, a credit will not be granted, and the student will remain enrolled in the Student Health Plan.

If it is determined the new plan meets the university’s coverage requirements, a credit would be placed on the student’s account for the coverage months that have not yet passed. Credit would not be granted for coverage months that have already passed or for coverage months that have already started. For coverage months already started, the fee would be retained for that month, and the credit would be applied starting the following month.

Unenrolling a Dependent Mid-Year

Spouse and/or children under the age of 26 who are enrolled in the Student Health Plan may unenroll from the plan at any time in the plan year. Request for plan termination must be emailed by the student, with the dependent copied on the email if an adult dependent, to [email protected]

A credit would be placed on the student’s account for the coverage months that have not yet passed. Credit would not be granted for coverage months that have already passed or for coverage months that have already started. For coverage months already started, the dependent fee would be retained for that month, and the credit would be applied starting the following month.

Withdraw Within 31 Days of a Coverage Period

If you withdraw from school, for reasons other than an approved leave of absence, within the first 31 days of a coverage period, you will not be covered under the Plan and the full fee will be refunded. Any claims paid during that period will be reversed and not covered by the plan.
