Insurance, Immunizations and Health Records

Student Health Insurance

The Campus Health Center provides basic health services that focus on primary prevention care, health education and counseling, emergency care, and the maintenance of health records and insurance.

Health Insurance:  All students enrolled for 12 or more semester hours are automatically billed for Health Insurance through the University Health Insurance Plan. This plan protects students 24 hours a day, whether at home, school or while traveling. Once a student is enrolled, eligible dependants may also be enrolled.  This coverage is in effect during interim vacation periods.  Participation in intercollegiate athletics is not covered.

If a student has his/her own private insurance, an Insurance WAIVER FORM must be submitted on-line to the Insurance Carrier prior to the 10th class day of the semester.  A LINK TO THE WAIVER FORM IS AVAILABLE AT www.sas-mn.com.  At the web site click on Look up School, click on Incarnate Word Domestic Insurance Plan, follow the drop down menu instructions.  Have your insurance information ready, you will need to provide that information in order to waive out.  No refunds for the health insurance plan will be made unless a completed waiver form has been submitted prior to the 10th class day.  International students are not permitted to waive the University’s Health Insurance Plan. 

Students currently enrolled in any University term(s) with the exception of Virtual University can purchase UIW student insurance for themselves and their* dependants by applying on line with Student Assurances Inc. (www.sas-mn.com) during eligible enrollment periods (30 days from the start of an eligible term).

*Individual student insurance must be purchased prior to availability for dependant coverage 

Check your student account after the waiver deadline to ensure charges have been removed.
