Waive your student health coverage
Already have health insurance? If you’re covered under another plan that meets SLU waiver criteria—like a parent’s, spouse’s, or employer’s—you can waive the SLU Student Health Insurance (UHP) plan.
To waive coverage, you’ll need your 9-digit SLU-issued Banner ID number.
General waive criteria for all students
You can waive coverage if you already have active health insurance that meets the SLU waiver criteria. If your coverage ends during the school year, you must keep another health insurance plan for the rest of your academic year. Your plan must include coverage for inpatient hospital and outpatient/clinic care, mental health services, treatment for drug and alcohol misuse, and prescription medications—all within the St. Louis area.
Specific waiver criteria for domestic students
Your plan provides benefits with no policy maximums, such as no caps or limits on the dollar amount the plan will play within a policy year or period.
Specific waiver criteria for international students
The plan must have:
- A U.S. mailing address for provider medical claim submission and U.S. phone number for member and customer service.
- A deductible of $500 or less.
- At least $25,000 for repatriation and $50,000 for emergency medical evacuation.
Qualifying life event
If you have a major life change—like getting married, having a baby, adopting a child, or losing other health coverage—and you want to enroll in the SLU plan, you can apply. To do this, submit a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) enrollment form and supporting documents to the SLU Student Health Insurance (UHP) office. You must send everything within 31 days of the qualifying life event.
