Enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan

Click on the “Enroll Today!” button on the right to get started.

Students must actively attend classes for at least the first 31 days after the date for which coverage was purchased. If a student leaves the school prior to this time, coverage will be canceled. Home study, correspondence and online courses do not fulfill the eligibility requirements that the student actively attend classes.

We highly recommend any student interested in purchasing the insurance to proactively enroll in the plan. This will ensure you receive your insurance ID card in a timely manner.
Please note that enrollment will not be available until the plan and rates are approved by the Virginia Bureau of Insurance.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us.
Waive out of the Student Health Insurance Plan

Students are required to complete the online waiver process each academic year.

Any student failing to complete the online waiver will be enrolled in the student health insurance plan and your student account will be charged for the cost of the insurance. Once enrolled, the plan cannot be cancelled and no refunds are available.

If you choose to waive the student health plan, your primary insurance plan must offer coverage in the school’s surrounding area for all emergency and routine care. Out of state HMO and Medicaid coverage may only cover you for emergency care. You would need to return to your home state for any routine care.

If you waive the student health insurance plan, you will only be able to enroll in the plan if you experience a Qualifying Life Event.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us.
Individual health insurance options

The school requires students to maintain health insurance to help ensure there is no disruption of their education due to the financial impact of an unexpected illness or injury. Students are not required to purchase the student health insurance plan sponsored by the school and can purchase coverage meeting all of the standards of the Affordable Care Act.

The school has secured the services of UROne Benefits to assist students with a search of alternative health insurance plans. You can reach UROne Benefits at 800-722-7331.
Will your health insurance protect you while you are away at college?

The insurance plans offered either through your parents’ employer or in the Marketplace have a variety of options. Some plans will limit coverage and services if the individual is seeking routine medical services outside of their home state.

Most, if not all plans will offer coverage in the event of an emergency but would require the insured to return to their home state for routine medical care. This can result in significant out-of-pocket expenses or delays in receiving proper care.

Please check with your insurance company to see if they have any options to extend coverage to the school’s surrounding area. Most of the national insurance companies will expand coverage outside of the home state at no cost to the insured. Some will reference this as a Guest Membership or Away from Home Care.

The implementation of this type of plan can properly protect you and ensure there is access for all medical care while you are away from home. The process can take up to 60 days to complete, so please contact your insurance company in advance of arriving on campus.
Qualifying Life Event

Eligible students who lose their current coverage through no fault of their own may enroll in the school plan as a Qualifying Life Event. You must enroll within 30 days after losing coverage in order to be eligible.

Please request enrollment by completing and submitting the Qualified Life Event form.

Dental Insurance

Enroll here for dental coverage through Delta Dental.

ENROLL TODAY
Voluntary Dental

Dental coverage can make it easier to stay on top of your oral health while you’re in school. Students with coverage are more likely to get regular check-ups, which can help catch issues early and prevent bigger problems later. Taking care of your teeth and gums also supports your overall health. Many plans help reduce out-of-pocket costs by covering routine exams, cleanings, and X-rays. And you cannot be charged more than Delta Dental’s set fees when you visit an in-network dentist. Having coverage can also help you feel more prepared if something unexpected comes up.

Vision Insurance

Enroll here for vision coverage through VSP.

ENROLL TODAY
Voluntary Vision

Vision coverage can help make it easier to take care of your eye health while you’re in school. Regular eye exams can catch changes in your vision early, and many plans help lower the cost of exams, glasses, and contacts. With a large network of providers, it’s usually easy to find a doctor nearby, and you can choose eyewear that fits your style and budget. Students can enroll in a vision plan at any time during the year, with payment completed online.
