Eligibility
Participation in the Student Health Insurance Plan is mandatory for Indiana University School of Medicine and School of Dentistry students unless proof of comparable coverage is presented, and a waiver is filed by the waiver deadline. Students are automatically enrolled in the student insurance plan each semester and the cost of the student premium is billed through the bursar. Students will receive information on the waiver process by email to provide proof.
Dependents
Eligible students may also insure their dependents. Eligible dependents are the spouse/same-sex domestic partner (residing with the Insured student) and unmarried children under the age of 26. Dependent eligibility is effective and expires concurrently with that of the insured student. If the deadline has passed your dependents may not enroll for coverage until the next coverage period, unless there has been a significant life change (i.e., marriage, birth, loss of prior coverage). If the enrollment form is submitted within 30 days of the qualifying event, coverage will be backdated to begin on the date of the qualifying event. If the enrollment form is submitted after the 30 days of the qualifying event, it will not be accepted, and the student and his/her dependents will have to wait until the next annual open enrollment period to enroll. Please contact the Student Health Coordinator for more information, 812-856-4650.
Dependents of Post-Doctoral Fellows beginning their affiliation mid-year will have 30 days from the date of appointment to submit their dependent enrollment form. If the enrollment form is submitted within 30 days of the appointment, coverage will be backdated to the date of appointment. If the enrollment form is submitted 30 days after the date of the appointment, it will not be accepted in the absence of a significant life change, and the dependent will have to wait until the next open enrollment period to enroll the dependent. Contact the Human Resources Administration Office for premium information. The completed dependent enrollment form should be submitted directly to Aetna Student Health.
Dependent enrollment applications must be received by Aetna Student Health no later than the Enrollment Deadline dates below.
