To satisfy UC's health insurance requirement for enrolled students, the plan held by the student must meet all of the criteria listed on the 2020-2021 Waiver Criteria. To help you in gathering the required information from your own insurance plan, you may use this Waiver Criteria.
For students who waive UC SHIP, there will be a fee for all services received at SHS. Please refer to Cost of Services. SHS is not a participating (i.e. in-network, preferred, etc.) provider with any insurance plan, and does not accept or bill private insurance.

Transfer students, students who acquire new insurance coverage, and students who missed the previous waiver period, may apply for a waiver during the next scheduled waiver period to opt out of UC SHIP for the remainder of the academic year. Waiver is done once per academic year.
Late waivers will be accepted through the late waiver deadline, subject to the $50.00 late waiver fee. Waivers will not be accepted after the late waiver deadline has passed. Waiving is an annual process and must be completed each new academic year to avoid being automatically enrolled into UC SHIP.
UC SHIP is a low-cost, comprehensive package designed to provide students with medical coverage anywhere in the world. Only UC SHIP offers UC Family Network discounts for students to receive care at UC hospitals, affiliated facilities and professional providers. Dental and Vision are included in the UC SHIP package.
If you think there is a possibility that you may use SHS even though you waived UC SHIP, it is recommended that you enroll in the Reduced Access Fee for Tritons (RAFT) program during the waiver process. Students who enroll in RAFT have access to certain SHS services at no or low cost.
As a result, your waiver credit was reversed. Your waiver was approved, however a HOLD on your student account may have prevented the waiver from crediting the Health Insurance Fee. You must resolve the HOLD first and then contact the SHS Insurance office to have the waiver credit applied to your account.
