UB Students: The UB Student Medical Insurance Waiver/Enrollment Process
has changed - <http://www.healthinsurance.buffalo.edu/>
Please be advised the University at Buffalo Student Medical Insurance
Plan waiver requirement is now an annual process. If you have waived
this coverage in the past, you must enroll or waive each year starting
with the academic year 2007-2008. Domestic students may enroll, waive
or verify your own coverage by visiting the UB Student Insurance Office
website (international students must still use a paper process but the
form is on the website):
<http://www.healthinsurance.buffalo.edu/> .
Here are some things to think about:
• If you’re covered under your parents’ plan, coverage may end at age
19 or 21. Most health plans have age restrictions that limit coverage for
dependents;
• You may not be covered away from home or abroad. Be sure your current
policy covers you in the Buffalo area; and,
• You may not have prescription drug coverage. With the cost of
prescription drugs growing by double digits, you need all the help you
can get. The UB Plan includes unlimited prescription benefit at the Sub
Board I Pharmacy.The UB Student Medical Insurance Plan offers you these assurances.
Please note: Students who successfully complete their on-line waiver
prior to the first Fall 2007 bill will not be charged for insurance on
their tuition bill. All full-time undergraduate and graduate students
and all international students are automatically enrolled in a Student
Medical Insurance Plan unless proof of comparable coverage is provided
to the University by October 2, 2007 the final waiver deadline.
Students that do not submit proof of comparable coverage will be
enrolled in the plan and the insurance premium will be charged on the
student’s tuition bill. Also, for students who may be getting student
loan refunds, if you waive before the refund is processed, you will get
the entire refund UP FRONT instead of getting all but the insurance
amount and then a second refund check later.
The UB Student Medical Insurance Plan offers you:
• Access to Aetna’s nationwide network of health care professionals,
including primary care and specialist doctors including Kaleida Health
Systems;
• Travel Assistance Services and Worldwide Medical coverage while
traveling or studying abroad;
• Vision, Fitness and Alternative Health Care Discount Programs in the
Buffalo Area; and,
• All students can purchase Vital Savings, a discount program that can
be used across the country at participating providers for dental,
vision, alternative health care and fitness.
