Insurance Benefits

As a UC Hastings student, you are automatically enrolled in UC SHIP, and billed for the premium. If you already have health insurance that will continue through 2011-12, and you wish to waive out of UC SHIP, you may apply for the waiver online. 

UC SHIP offers greater benefits to students than those previously offered at a lower cost!  Read the Plan Description.  Dental and vision benefits will be included in the final benefit summary.   

Student Health Insurance is included in your tuition fees. The insurance premiums for the 2011/2012 school year are $992 for the Fall and $1489 for the Spring/Summer, for a total of $2481.

Students enrolled in UC SHIP may enroll their dependents in the plan. Dependent benefits differ slightly from student benefits. To learn more about UC SHIP Dependent Benefits, see the Dependent Medical Plan Description. For information on Dependent Prescription Coverage, see the Dependent Prescription Plan.
