Waive out of the Student Health Insurance Plan

The Southern Virginia University requests all students who don’t wish to enroll into the plan complete an online waiver each academic year. The waiver information is used by the Student Health Center and Athletic Department to assist students needing medical attention.

Please understand your primary insurance plan may not offer full coverage in the Buena Vista area. Out of state HMO and Medicaid coverage outside of Virginia 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

Southern Virginia University requests all students to maintain health insurance to assure 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 College and can purchase coverage meeting all of the standards of the Affordable Care Act.

Southern Virginia University 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.

Customer Service at Delta Dental can be reached at 800-422-4234.

Vision Insurance

Enroll here for vision coverage through VSP.

ENROLL TODAY

Students can enroll in a vision plan at any time during the year, with payment completed online.

Sports Insurance

All students-athletes are required to have personal health insurance in order to participate in intercollegiate athletics. This insurance may be through a parent’s plan or purchased through Student Health Services.

Collegiate Accident Claim Form

Southern Virginia University provides supplemental insurance for those athletic injuries that occur while participating in Southern Virginia University sponsored intercollegiate athletics. Once the athlete has met all of their deductibles, co-payments, and coinsurance, any outstanding charges that the primary insurance company will not pay reverts back to A-G Specialty Insurance. In order for A-G Specialty to process these claims, they require a billing statement, itemized bill, and an EOB (Explanation of Benefits) from the primary insurance company stating non-payment. The athletic training staff will file and submit claims, but it is the responsibility of the student-athlete to submit any and all necessary billing information directly to A-G Specialty.

A-G Specialty – Intercollegiate Sports Insurance Claim Information

Southern Virginia University student-athletes are insured under an Intercollegiate Sports insurance program. This policy is intended to pay for any excess medical expenses not paid by the student-athletes primary health insurance plan.

The Intercollegiate Sports insurance policy is an excess insurance plan. This means if an injury occurs requiring medical attention claims should be submitted to the student’s primary insurance company.

The student is responsible for submitting all medical bills and Explanation of Benefit statements to the claim administrator. Southern Virginia University does not assist in this process. You can ask for assistance on any Intercollegiate Sports insurance claim by contacting RCM&D, Inc.

This policy will pay for medical expenses for up to two years from the date of your injury.
