STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN
2024-2025 Academic Year
Dear RBHS Students and Parents:
Rutgers is pleased to present you with information about the Rutgers University Student Health Insurance Plan. The Student Health Insurance Plan is serviced by University Health Plans and underwritten by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company (UHC). You may review the Plan benefits by going to http://www.universityhealthplans.com and click on Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
RBHS New Spring Full-Time Students Only
RBHS initially charges all New Spring Full-Time students for the Student Health Insurance Plan during Spring semester. Students who have other health insurance coverage may opt out by submitting the online waiver form.
RBHS Full-Time students are required to submit an online waiver form prior to the posted deadline each academic year. The Spring waiver deadline is February 25, 2025. Students who do not respond by the deadline will be automatically enrolled in the Spring plan and will be responsible for paying the premium. Students who do not pay the assessed premium and who have not properly waived coverage will have a hold placed on their account until it is paid in full.
RBHS New Spring Part-Time Students Only
RBHS New Spring Part-Time students who participate in clinical experience are required to have health insurance coverage. RBHS initially charges all Part-Time students in clinical rotation for the Student Health Insurance Plan during Spring. If you are Part-Time student and do not participate in clinical experience, you will NOT be automatically charged for the Student Health Insurance Plan. If you would like to purchase the coverage, you may do so by submitting the online “Voluntary Student Enrollment Form” on the left-hand side menu no later than February 25, 2025.
Online only degree programs and non-matriculated students registered only for online courses do not fulfill the eligibility requirements.
