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 https://hr.iu.edu/benefits/student-pshp-202324.html . Students will be billed for coverage by the IUI 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, no exceptions will be granted. The waiver form can be completed by following the instructions at the following website https://www.universityhealthplans.com/letters/letter.cgi?group_id=439
Students with questions about the waiver requirements should contact the Student Insurance Coordinator at studenhc@iu.edu.
