Health Coverage All graduate students are required to have health coverage. Students will be required to sign a waiver indicating that they have a current health coverage if they are not enrolled in one of the two plans listed below.
Graduate Assistants/NIH Trainees
Graduate students who are Graduate Assistants at 0.5 FTE or greater and those who have appointments as trainees on NIH training grants or individual NRSA fellowships (or the equivalent) are eligible for health coverage through the Health Center's Benefits office.
Graduate Assistants may add spouses, children and
same sex domestic partners to their coverage for an additional
charge. This coverage is described in
Insurance Information for Graduate
Assistants/Trainees.
Non-Graduate Assistants
Fulltime UCHC graduate students who are not Graduate Assistants are
eligible to enroll in either a POE or POS Anthem BlueCare plan offered
to UCHC medical and dental students. Please contact Ms. Christine
Brackbill via email at
Brackbill@nso.uchc.edu for further information.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The University uses what is called a "hard waiver" system to assure
student health coverage. This means students will be AUTOMATICALLY
enrolled in and billed for the University-sponsored plan. If you want
coverage under the University-sponsored plan, do nothing; you are
automatically enrolled.
If you wish to decline the university plan, you must waive it via the
Health Insurance Waiver in the PeopleSoft Financials system. Log into
your PeopleSoft account, then navigate to:
> SA Self Service > Learner Services > Finances > UC Health Insurance
Waiver.
The on-line waiver is only available through the tenth day of
classes and must be completed by September 14, 2007 for the 2007/08
Academic Year.
If you fail to complete the waiver in PeopleSoft, it will be
assumed that you accept coverage offered under the University sponsored
health insurance plan, and the charge for that coverage will remain on
your fee bill. |
