Information about student insurance enrollment, waivers, and more

Services are available to all students regardless of insurance. Learn more about our fees.
黑料网 students enrolled at least half-time (and ALL F-1/J-1 visa students) are automatically enrolled in the 黑料网-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan. However, you have the option to waive this enrollment if your current insurance plan meets the requirements listed below under Waiver Requirements.
To schedule an appointment with the Insurance Coordinator, Tammy Oh, email toh2@scu.edu or call during business hours at (408) 554-4501.

黑料网 requires all degree-seeking students enrolled at least half-time (and all F-1/J-1 visa students, even when enrolled less than half-time) to have health insurance. This requirement helps to protect against unexpected high medical costs and provides access to quality health care. Please note that certificate and online programs are excluded from this requirement. 

Each year, students are automatically enrolled in and charged for the university-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), but can waive enrollment if they can provide proof of other U.S. insurance coverage comparable to an Affordable Care Act-compliant plan. The cost of the university sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan is not covered in your tuition; the charge will show up as a separate item on your student account. To waive enrollment, a new waiver must be submitted by the waiver deadline each academic year.

  • F-1 visa students will be automatically enrolled into the SHIP regardless of number of units, and can waive enrollment ONLY if the student is
    • a dependent on a spouse/parent/partner’s U.S. based employer-offered, Affordable Care Act-compliant plan.
  • J-1 visa students will be automatically enrolled into the SHIP regardless of number of units, and are NOT eligible to waive enrollment.

If a claim is submitted through the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), an explanation of benefits (EOB) will be sent to the address or email address that is listed with Aetna.

If you are not on the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), you can submit a claim for possible reimbursement through your individual health insurance dependent on your plan benefits, though we are only considered in-network for those on the Student Health Insurance Plan provided through Aetna. We are out of network for those who do not have our Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), so this will largely depend on if you have out of network benefits through your individual insurance.
