Student Health Insurance All undergraduate, international, and full-time domestic graduate students are required by Stevens to enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) or be covered by a comprehensive Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant health insurance plan. To ensure compliance the required students are automatically billed for the Stevens Student Health Insurance Plan. If you are covered by a comprehensive ACA compliant health insurance plan you can opt-out of the SHIP by completing the waiver form, which can be found at www. universityhealthplans.com/stevens. Before waiving compare the cost, coverage, and benefits of the SHIP to your existing plan. Please consider the following: • The plan must provide access to doctors, specialists, behavioral health care providers, hospitals, labs, and pharmacies in the Stevens campus area. • The plan must be a U.S. health insurance plan that is filed and approved in the U.S. and compliant with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) benefit requirements. Travel insurance and short-term limited duration plans are not accepted. • Out-of-state Medicaid and many out-of-state HMO or EPO plans do not provide out-of-network coverage. Urgent and/or emergency-only coverage does not meet the insurance requirements. Undergraduate students must submit a student health insurance waiver form by August 31, 2025, for the fall semester and by January 19, 2026 for the spring semester. Graduate students must submit a Student Health Insurance Waiver Form by September 15, 2025, for the fall semester and by February 2, 2026, for the spring semester. If a student does not submit a waiver form by the waiver deadline, they will be enrolled in SHIP and responsible for the premium. For specific deadlines and more information on the Stevens Health Insurance Plan, please contact University Health Plans. When enrollment in the Student Health Insurance Plan is submitted, students will receive an emailed copy of their ID to their Stevens account. Students may request a hard copy of the card by contacting UHP at 1.800.437.6448 or by emailing [email protected]. Dental insurance and a vision plan are not required by Stevens; however, you may purchase this insurance through University Health Plans.
