Tulane University
Student Health Insurance Plan
The University requires that all full-time students carry adequate medical insurance while attending Tulane University. Each year, full-time students must either enroll in the University sponsored student health insurance plan, or waive enrollment in this plan by providing proof of other adequate coverage. The online waiver form must be completed each year during the Fall semester or in the Spring semester for students enrolling as full-time for the first time.
Failure to complete the on-line waiver form will result in the student's automatic enrollment in the Aetna Student Medical Insurance Plan. The annual premium of $1,754 will be evenly split between the fall and spring semester. Premium charges cannot be removed after the September 21, 2009 waiver deadline.
Please review your current medical coverage to insure that you have adequate medical coverage when you are living away from home. Some students are only reimbursed for out-of-network service and some not at all if your insurer is an HMO such as Kaiser-Permanente. Plans underwritten by Blue Cross-Blue Shield will not cover the costs of any non-physician services performed at the Student Health Center. As a result, the student will be required to take the SHC script for Lab or Pharmacy to an off-campus Blue Cross Provider. Please Note: The Student Health Center does not charge full-time students for physician services.
Part-time, dissertation, executive program students and previously enrolled dependents are not automatically enrolled. As a result, these students must enroll on-line to obtain the student insurance.
