Health Insurance Information/Forms
HEALTH INSURANCE
Health insurance coverage is a requirement for all full-time graduate students. If you have been admitted as a full-time PhD degree seeker you are offered enrollment in the Humana Health Insurance, Anthem Dental Insurance and Professional Vision Services Plans. You may exercise the option to add a spouse and or children with the additional cost of coverage deducted from your monthly pay.
The annual premium for single coverage is paid by the college for all full-time students in the PhD programs as part of their fellowship program. Some students are covered under health insurance policies of their parents, spouses or full-time employer and are eligible to be waived from enrollment. Students have also elected to require single coverage for dental and vision for all full-time students enrolled in the health insurance plan. Full time degree-seeking MS, MA or MPH graduate students may purchase the student health insurance plan. Each student is responsible for payment of this coverage at registration or through stipend deduction
