Health Insurance Waiver

Health Insurance Waiver

UIC requires that all students be covered by health insurance and provides a plan for which the fee is automatically assessed along with other tuition and fees. Eligible students include all registered degree and nondegree Undergraduate, Graduate, and Health Professional students. There is no enrollment form to complete. Students with comparable health insurance coverage, for example through a legal guardian or an employer, can waive out of CampusCare Health Insurance by submitting an online waiver by 11:59 p.m. CST on May 28, 2012. As a UIUC/UIS student, the steps you need to take depend on your insurance coverage at your home campus.

I have already waived out of my home campus CampusCare program

If you have already submitted a CampusCare waiver at your home campus, you will automatically be waived out of coverage at UIC for the Summer Session. Should you wish to enroll in CampusCare for the summer, you will need to submit a reinstatement form by the May 28 deadline. (Students who have applied or registered after May 28 should contact the Summer Session Office for assistance.)

I use CampusCare coverage at my home campus.

If you have CampusCare coverage at your home campus, your coverage will be continued at UIC when you enroll. You will be assessed the CampusCare fee at UIC unless you submit the online waiver. If you extended coverage at your home campus for the summer and do not need CampusCare coverage through UIC, you can waive coverage at UIC by submitting the online waiver form by Monday, May 28 (see steps below). (Students who have applied or registered after May 28 should contact the Summer Session Office for assistance.)

Steps to Submitting the Waiver

  1. Log in to the CampusCare waiver Web site with your UIC netid and password. Please wait 24 – 48 hours after you register before you submit the waiver.
  2. Select “Request a Summer 2012 CampusCare waiver.”
  3. Complete the form and select “Submit” to complete the process.

Once approved, a waiver remains in effect until a Reinstatement Application Form is submitted. All forms must be submitted through the CampusCare Web site.

Coverage Dates

Student Health Insurance coverage begins on Monday, May 14, 2012 for students who register for any summer courses before Monday, May 28, 2012.  If you register for courses after May 28, 2012 your coverage will begin on the date you register. In order to avoid problems with access to coverage, the CampusCare office advises you to register for courses before May 14. Coverage will end for all enrolled summer students on Sunday, August 12, 2012.

Fees

The Student Health Insurance fee is one of several fees that appear on your student account. The rate for the Summer Session 2012 will be $264. Note: Fees are subject to change prior to the start of the term. Also note that the Student Health Insurance Fee is different from the Student Health Services Fee, which is a mandatory fee that cannot be waived. For more information about the services covered by the Student Health Services Fee, go to the Department of Family Medicine Web site.
