Health Insurance

CampusCare

UIC requires that all registered students be covered by health insurance and provides a plan, known as CampusCare. When you register for summer session classes you will be enrolled automatically in CampusCare for the summer and assessed a fee along with your tuition and other fees. There is no enrollment form to complete. Eligible students include all registered degree and non-degree Undergraduate, Graduate, and Health Professional students.

CampusCare benefits include:

  • Physician, hospital and emergency room services
  • Discounted vision and dental program
  • Behavioral health services
  • Prescription drug program

Dates of coverage:

CampusCare coverage begins on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 for students who register for any summer courses before May 20, 2025. If you register for courses on or after May 20 your coverage will begin on the date you register. To avoid problems with access to coverage, the CampusCare office advises you to register for courses before May 20. Summer coverage ends on August 15, 2025.

The CampusCare Student Health Insurance fee is one of several fees listed on your student account. The fee for the 2025 Summer Session will be $461. Fees are subject to change prior to the start of the term.

Note that the CampusCare Student Health Insurance fee is different from the Student Health Services fee, which is a mandatory fee (cannot be waived). Please check the explanation of tuition and fees for more information about services covered by this fee.

If you are covered by another insurance plan (through your parents or employer, for example), you can waive out of CampusCare and reduce your bill. Information about waiving CampusCare or reinstating this benefit can be found on the CampusCare Waivers and Reinstatement Forms.

 

As a UIUC/UIS student, the steps you need to take to waive the fee depend on your insurance coverage at your home campus.
