If you are considering purchasing this plan, it is very important that you read the following information and pick up a copy of the brochure, since enrollment procedures, benefit levels, limitations and exclusions may change from year to year.

Underwritten by the MEGA Life and Health Insurance Company, it is a one-year term policy.

Important - Please Note
  • The deadline to sign up for, change plans, or cancel insurance is the 7th calendar day of the quarter. TO SIGN UP, YOU MUST BE REGISTERED FOR CLASSES. You cannot enroll in, change or cancel your choice after that day.
  • Graduate students who have graduate appointments (TA/RA/SA) may be eligible for the Graduate Appointee Insurance Plan (GAIP) provided by the University.If you have such an appointment, do not sign up for the student insurance plan. If you have purchased the student insurance plan through MyUW and then receive an appointment, you may be eligible for a refund of the student plan if you notify the UW Benefits Office within 30 days of the beginning of your appointment.
  • If you choose to purchase coverage on a Per-Academic Quarter basis, YOU MUST BE REGISTERED FOR THE QUARTER FOR WHICH IT IS PURCHASED. (e.g., if you are not going to attend Summer Quarter, sign up at Spring Quarter for the "annual" coverage plan to cover you for Spring and Summer Quarters).
  • An insurance card is available in the brochure or on-line ; one will not be mailed to you. Click here for a copy of the 2007-2008 insurance card.
  • If you are on financial aid and want your student health insurance premiums counted in your financial aid eligibility, go to Financial Aid forms. Complete the Revision Request for Additional Expenses for the current academic year. Please note that most revisions result in an increase in student loans (if you are not already at the annual maximums allowed).

Enrollment

Enroll yourself and eligible dependents on MyUW on-line through the first 7 calendar days of the quarter (for autumn quarter, it is the Tuesday after school starts; for winter, spring and summer quarters it is the Sunday after school starts)

You may NOT enroll in the plan by just sending in the premium. If you sign up for the plan during preregistration, the premium will be included on your tuition statement sent to you after the quarter begins. If you enroll in the plan after the quarter begins, you may not receive an adjusted bill but can access your balance on-line at MyUW.

You may not cancel your insurance by not paying the premium - you must cancel your insurance selection through MyUW on-line within the first 7 calendar days of the quarter. You may cancel in person at the Student Accounts Office within the first 5 calendar days of the quarter.

Payment of Premium

The premium is due by the tuition due date, the 3rd Friday of the quarter. Failure to pay the premium by that date will result in subsequent bills being sent and may result in a hold being placed on your records. FINANCIAL AID WILL PAY THE INSURANCE PREMIUM AUTOMATICALLY, in most cases, but you should check the conditions of your aid and whether it is sufficient to pay all required charges, including the insurance premium.

Cancellation of Insurance

Cancellation of coverage after the first 7 calendar days of the quarter is not permitted - except in the event the student enters military service on full-time active duty or a student's withdrawal from the University is dated within the first 7 calendar days of the quarter.
