Insurance Requirement

Medical (health) insurance is required for all full-time students, all student residents and all part-time international students. These students will be enrolled in the student health insurance plan unless a valid waiver is completed.

Part-time domestic students may purchase the student medical plan upon request.

University Medical Insurance policy can be viewed using the link below:  http://policies.cua.edu/StudentLife/healthinsurance.cfm

Enrollment

Enrollment occurs online   during the policy’s stated enrollment dates. If you need to enroll outside of the standard enrollment dates because of loss of coverage, please contact UHC customer service.

Waiver

Domestic Students: may waive their CUA Student Medical Insurance Plan as long as they have comparable health insurance.

International Students: must provide an English copy of their alternative health insurance policies to the University. The alternative health insurance policy must meet all federal government requirements and include repatriation and evacuation. Website descriptions of benefits may be used for this review as long as you present your health insurance ID Card.

Default

Students who do not enroll or waive online will be default enrolled into the standard policy and their student accounts charged. Notification reminders are sent to student’s CUA email addresses.

Please check your email CUA address regularly to be sure that any required actions can be taken as soon as possible.

Not checking your CUA email could result in missing deadlines to have charges removed.

The student medical plan charge is not refundable or transferable. A student incorrectly billed for the student medical plan must provide notification before the end of late registration of the semester in which the incorrect billing occurred or remain responsible for the charges.
