Health Insurance
All students -- without exception -- are required to carry health insurance while enrolled at IUSD. Students will not be allowed to participate in any school activity without documentation of current adequate health insurance.
Option 1: Students will be enrolled automatically in the Professional Student Plan sponsored by Indiana University. Details of the benefits are available online at http://www.indiana.edu/~uhrs/benefits/students.html. Students will be billed for coverage by the IUPUI Office of the Bursar in the fall and the spring. Indiana University Human Resources/Benefits (IUHR/B) directs the automatic enrollment. All communications are conducted between the student and IUHR/B. Students should contact the Student Insurance Coordinator at studenhc@iu.edu with any questions.
Option 2: Students may be eligible or elect coverage under a plan other than the Professional Student Plan (for example: fellowship, scholarship or grant, international or private insurance). If so, the student must submit a waiver form indicating nonparticipation in the Professional Student Plan no later than the waiver deadline. The deadline is August 1st; no exceptions will be granted. The waiver form can be completed by following the instructions at the following website https://www.aetnastudenthealth.com/students/student-connection.aspx?GroupID=812801.
Students with questions about the waiver requirements should contact the Student Insurance Coordinator at studenhc@iu.edu.
