Waive Out

If you do not want the Student Health Insurance Plan, you must decline or waive out of coverage by submitting a waiver. You may only waive out of coverage during the following Waiver Period:

Summer Semester: 03/15/2024 - 06/02/2024

You may request to waive out of the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) if your alternate insurance health plan meets the following requirements:

Plan must be licensed to do business in the State of Florida and coverage must extend to the county you are attending classes and must meet the following requirements:

1. Unlimited visits to general practice physician visits, and specialty physicians.
2. Inpatient hospital coverage for Medical and Mental Health issues.
3. Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse coverage.
4. Prescriptive Medication Coverage (Unlimited coverage with copayment)
5. An individual deductible not to exceed $2,500.00 per policy year
6. (Plans with a Health Savings Account (HSA) and/or a Federal Savings Account (FSA), are exempt from this requirement)
7. Coverage must remain in effect while enrolled for classes (The premium must be paid in full for the semester in which student is enrolled for classes. Premium payments submitted monthly are not considered continuous coverage. Plans provided through payroll deduction are exempt from this requirement.)

International students may not waive this coverage unless they have private health insurance coverage with a U.S. insurance plan (i.e., Aetna, Cigna, BCBS or United Healthcare) that provides all coverage requirements outlined above including proof of medical evacuation and repatriation.
