If I remain enrolled in the student health insurance plan, can I opt-out of the plan at the start of the spring term?

Yes, you are eligible to waive at semester.

What happens to my student health insurance coverage if I am no longer enrolled (i.e., withdrawal, LOA, suspension, or dismissal)?

Except in the case of medical withdrawal due to Sickness or Injury, any student withdrawing from school during the first 31 days of the period for which coverage is purchased will not be covered under the student health insurance policy. A full refund of Premium will be made, minus the cost of any claim paid by Aetna Student Health. Students withdrawing after such 31 days will remain covered under the student health insurance policy for the term purchased, and no refund will be allowed.

I am 25 and on a parent's health insurance plan. I will turn 26 during this academic year. Can I still waive out of the plan for part of the year?

Students who are currently covered under the health plan of a parent but who will age out of their coverage after the waiver deadline period may use their current coverage to waive out of the student health insurance plan. Approximately 30-45 days before the student's 26th birthday, our insurance verifier, HSAC, will reach out to students in this situation to determine if they wish to enroll in the student health insurance plan (at a prorated rate) or submit proof of coverage from another health insurance provider.

If a student wishes to waive with coverage from another carrier, the coverage must meet all requirements set forth by Touro University NV and must be submitted to HSAC for verification within 30 days of termination of existing coverage. New coverage must be effective within 24 hours of your previous health insurance coverage.

I waived out of the student health insurance plan at the start of the academic year, but now I am losing my coverage. Can I enroll in the student health insurance plan later in the year? Will the Premium be prorated based on my coverage dates?

If you waived out of the student health insurance plan but lost your health insurance coverage due to an involuntary loss of coverage (i.e., aging out of your parent's plan, loss of employment, divorce, etc.), you may enroll in the student health insurance plan. If you would like to enroll, please contact Health Sciences Assurance Consulting (HSAC) directly at touronv@hsac.com. In your e-mail, include your student ID number, the reason for loss of coverage, and dates of coverage required. HSAC will respond with the prorated cost of coverage based on your coverage dates.
