The waiver/enrollment forms are accessible for Fall 2024 at www.universityhealthplans.com.

• Deadline date: September 25, 2024
  Rate: $1,233.00
• WAIVING? If you have comparable health insurance, you may complete the waiver to get the premium removed from your term bill. If you failed to waive before the deadline, your enrollment in the SHIP will be processed, and you will then be responsible for paying the premium on the term bill even though you have other health insurance.
• ENROLLING? Complete the enrollment form before the deadline. Paying the premium on the term bill is not enrolling. If an enrollment form was not completed before the deadline, your insurance card may not be available for several weeks. Failure to have the insurance card may put you at financial risk to pay out-of-pocket for medical care and prescription medication. Be proactive and enroll before the deadline to avoid financial risk, and the need to file for reimbursement directly with UHCSR.

Health Insurance Waiver and Enrollment Forms—All Students
The waiver/enrollment forms are accessible for Fall 2024 at www.universityhealthplans.com. Rutgers requires full-time and all F&J Rutgers visa sponsored students to waive or enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) each semester before the deadline. The Health Insurance premium is automatically added to the term bill each semester. Mandatory action is required each semester. The SHIP is optional for part-time students and the premium is not added to the term bill.

• Deadline date: September 25, 2024
  Rate: $1,233.00
• WAIVING? If you have comparable health insurance, you may complete the waiver to get the premium removed from your term bill. If you failed to waive before the deadline, your enrollment in the SHIP will be processed, and you will then be responsible for paying the premium on the term bill even though you have other health insurance.
• ENROLLING? Complete the enrollment form before the deadline. Paying the premium on the term bill is not enrolling. If an enrollment form was not completed before the deadline, your insurance card may not be available for several weeks. Failure to have the insurance card may put you at financial risk to pay out-of-pocket for medical care and prescription medication. Be proactive and enroll before the deadline to avoid financial risk, and the need to file for reimbursement directly with UHCSR.

Visit www.universityhealthplans.com for the waiver requirements, waiver/enrollment steps and forms, rates, summary of benefits, how to get the insurance card, and specific contact information. A Rutgers ID# must be included on all correspondence for identification purposes.
