MANDATORY STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Beginning Fall Semester 2014, all new students accepted into ANY Health Sciences or Nursing Program at Albany State University will be required to verify active Medical Insurance coverage. This is a new Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia mandate and not a Albany State University mandate. Proof of coverage must be submitted during a specified time period after acceptance into any Health Sciences or Nursing Program at ASU. Submissions CANNOT be done BEFORE or AFTER the given time period. Submission is done via UnitedHealthcare’s StudentResources webpage.
Proof of coverage must be provided in one of the following ways:
1) Through a currently active parent plan.
2) Through a currently active individual or family plan.
3) Through a currently active Employer-Sponsored plan.
4) Through a currently active Albany State University Student
Health Insurance Plan (SHIP).
5) Through a currently active Government Sponsored Plan.
If a student fails to provide appropriate proof of coverage during the dates stated above, the student will be automatically enrolled (via the Business Office) into plan #4 above. As of May 1, 2014, the Annual Premium rate for Plan #4 was as follows:
• Student – Age 26 and Under: $1,381.00
• Student – Age 27 and Older: $1,782.00
*These rates are subject to change without notice.
Additionally, Health Insurance coverage must be maintained by the student throughout the entire time that he/she remains enrolled and is actively progressing through his/her respective Health Sciences or Nursing Program. If a student fails to maintain Health Insurance coverage, then he/she will be immediately dismissed from their respective Health Sciences or Nursing Program for failure to maintain the mandatory coverage as required by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. If you have any questions regarding this requirement, please contact your respective Program Director, the Health Sciences Division Office, or the Nursing Division Office.
By signing below, I certify that I have read the above statement and I understand the requirements as listed above and understand that my acceptance into any Albany State University Health Sciences or Nursing Program requires Mandatory Medical Insurance coverage.
