Student Health Insurance Requirements and Plans
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: SPRING OPEN ENROLLMENT AND WAIVER PERIOD DEC. 8 - JAN. 31
The spring 2021 waiver and enrollment period is available through your myUT Portal between Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020 and Sunday, January 31, 2021.
If you submitted a waiver for fall 2020, it will carry over through the remainder of the 2020-21 academic year (a new waiver is needed each academic year). It is the student’s responsibility to notify the student health insurance office of any changes in their waiver status during the academic year.
If you voluntarily enrolled in the University-sponsored student medical and prescription drug insurance plan for fall 2020, this coverage ends on Thursday, Dec 31. If you want coverage Friday, Jan. 1, 2021 through Tuesday, Aug. 10, 2021, you will need to enroll in the spring 2021 plan.
All UToledo students are required to have health insurance. The University of Toledo has partnered with Anthem Student Advantage to provide students with medical and prescription drug coverage for the 2020-21 academic year.
UToledo automatically enrolls the following students in the student health insurance plan and assesses a fee to your student account:
- All domestic undergraduate students registered for 6 or more credit hours per term
- All domestic graduate students registered for 6 or more credit hours per term
- All international students registered for 1 or more credit hours per term
- All students who participate in patient care and are required by their program to have health insurance
You may waive the health insurance coverage if you have coverage under another plan as long as you submit your waiver by the deadline.
If you don’t waive the insurance by the deadline, you will be enrolled in UToledo’s student medical and prescription drug insurance plan. Anthem will automatically send you relevant paperwork and an insurance card.
This student health insurance plan enrollment model is a best practice in Ohio. It has allowed UToledo to negotiate lower premiums with Anthem Student Advantage.
Degree-seeking domestic students taking less than 6 credit hours per term and eligible dependents of all enrolled students may voluntarily enroll in the student health insurance plan directly with Anthem Student Advantage.
