In Summer 2024, UF will announce the 2024-25 student health insurance policy, rates & requirements. So long as the University's insurance requirements do not change, students will have an opportunity to submit a waiver request for the 2024-25 academic year. Decisions regarding waiver approval or denial will be based on the student health insurance requirements in place at the time the decision is rendered.
*An important change is being made to the waiver form process. Individuals must meet the four published requirements* or the student's waiver will be automatically denied. Over the last two academic years, the University has noticed individuals submitting substandard coverage, including policies that do not meet the Affordable Care Act minimum benefit requirements and are not underwritten by a U.S. Domestic insurance carrier. For this reason, insurance policies from the following carriers will be automatically denied:
Bajaj Allianz, Berkshire Hathaway Travel, Bupa Global, Edelweiss General Insurance, Global Benefits Group (GBG) Limited Insurance, Golden Rule (medical insurance), ICICI Lombard, IMG, ISO – International Student Health Insurance, Molina Healthcare, TATA AIG, Zolve Student Health Insurance.
*In order to waive the University of Findlay Student Insurance Plan, and have the related charge removed from their billing statement, student's alternate coverage must meet the requirements published on the Student Health Insurance main webpage.
