Overview of 榴梿视频’s Annual Insurance Requirements
Each year all degree-seeking students* are defaulted into the 榴梿视频 University Student Health Insurance Plan (NU-SHIP).- Students who are covered under an alternate insurance plan, e.g., a parent’s or spouse’s plan, must waive their NU-SHIP enrollment during the open enrollment period (typically July 1 – Oct 1).
- To waive NU-SHIP enrollment, students must affirm active alternate insurance that meets all of 榴梿视频 University’s comparable coverage requirements.
- Generally speaking, most out-of-state HMO plans and out-of-state Medicaid plans do not meet the University’s requirements as they only provide emergency/urgent care coverage in the Evanston and Chicago area.
- If students do not waive the NU-SHIP by the enrollment deadline, they remain enrolled in the NU-SHIP for the entire academic year, and they are billed the annual premium on their student account.
- Students who intend to use the NU-SHIP coverage are encouraged to confirm their enrollment online in CAESAR as soon as open enrollment begins. It takes Aetna approximately 4-5 business days to process enrollment records in their system, after students confirm NU-SHIP enrollment online.
- The Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes requirements for student health insurance plans; the NU-SHIP is a platinum-rated plan that meets all relevant ACA requirements.
*SPS students are exempt from this process
