Students are encouraged to review insurance coverage and eligibility.
Undergraduate student coverage is defined in the insurance policy as follows: “All full-time undergraduate students taking 12 or more credits and all nursing transfer students with 60 credits are automatically enrolled in the UnitedHealthcare Blanket Student Health Insurance Plan at registration, and the premium for coverage is added to their tuition billing unless proof of comparable coverage is furnished.”
Graduate student coverage is defined in the insurance policy as follows: “All graduate students participating in the following clinical programs with 6 more credits: DOT, DPT, MS SLP, MSN, MSW (not MSW.OL), dual degree MSW, PsyD, dual degree PsyD and all Chester campus graduate students living in residential halls (regardless of credit hours) are automatically enrolled in the UnitedHealthcare Blanket Student Health Insurance Plan at registration, and the premium for coverage is added to their tuition billing unless proof of comparable coverage is furnished.”
“For all eligibility, the student, defined as a ‘Named Insured’ under the policy terms, must actively attend classes for at least the first 31 days after the date for which coverage is purchased. Home study, correspondence, and online-only programs do not fulfill the student’s eligibility requirements of actively attending classes. The Company maintains its right to investigate eligibility or student status and attendance records to verify that the Policy eligibility requirements have been met. If and whenever the Company discovers that the Policy eligibility requirements have not been met, its only obligation is a refund of premium.” Insurance is provided by a third-party provider and not the University and requires both eligibility and payment of premiums. Please review carefully the insurance company’s eligibility requirements above. Should you have any questions with eligibility or coverages, please utilize the link(s) below and/or contact UnitedHealthcare Student Resources.
All registered international students (unless sponsored by SACM) are automatically enrolled in this insurance plan at registration, and the premium for coverage is added to their tuition billing.
If enrolling in the University-sponsored plan please contact https://www.uhcsr.com/ to receive a copy of the Certificate of Coverage and Statement of Benefits for policy details.
Automatic enrollment in the plan occurs after the deadline. However, your coverage is retroactive to the policy start date. After the enrollment period ends, you will receive an email from United Healthcare with directions to download your insurance card. If you do not receive an email, please contact customerservice@uhcsr.com or call Student Health at (610) 499-1183.
Please note: At this time the university does not offer voluntary enrollment into the insurance plan. Students are encouraged to review insurance coverage and eligibility requirements.
