The Student Insurance Office is permanently located at 807 South Wright Street, Fourth Floor, Champaign. For the semester periods during which on-campus registration is held, the insurance office is located in the Armory. When the Post-Registration Service Center is open, an insurance station is operated in the Illini Union for the first (fall) and second (spring) semesters, and in the Henry Administration Building for the summer session. During the times either the Armory or the Service Center station is open, all exemptions, reinstatements, and applications for coverage must be made at that location. Students should consult the current g Timetable for the dates and times of on-campus registration and operation of the post-registration service activities.
Students registered in University classes for residence work are assessed a fee each registration to cover the cost of the program. A student presenting evidence of equivalent medical insurance coverage (a copy of the insurance policy or a schedule of benefits) may be exempted from payment of this fee upon approval of a petition submitted IN PERSON at one of the Insurance Office locations by no later than the final date established each term for a refund of tuition and fees. A signed waiver and assumption of responsibility is also required. An exemption will continue in effect until such time as the student requests reinstatement to the plan or does not respond to a periodic request to confirm that he/she continues to be covered by another health plan. Reinstatement may also be requested at any other time up to the last day of coverage for a semester or term. Reinstatement is guaranteed if application is within thirty-one days of the termination of other insurance; after thirty-one days, reinstatement is su bject to approval of a statement of medical history. If approved, a pre-existing condition limitation will be applicable for the first 120 days of coverage. The premium is not prorated for a partial semester of coverage.
-- First (fall) semester coverage extends through the first day of on-campus registration for the second (spring) semester.
-- Second (spring) semester coverage extends through the first day of on-campus registration for the eight-week summer term.
-- Summer session coverage extends through the first day of on-campus registration for the first (fall) semester.
Premium rates for each semester or term may be found in the respective g Timetable.
Married students may purchase student health insurance to cover spouses and dependent children upon application and payment of an additional premium at one of the Student Insurance Office locations within the first ten days of instruction of a semester or the first seven days of instruction in a summer session. Application and premium payments must be made for each semester or term. Premiums for spouses and children may not be charged to student accounts.
Petitions for exemption or reinstatement, and applications for dependent or extension of coverage must be submitted IN PERSON. Items mailed to the Student Insurance Office or included with payments made by mail will be returned to the sender without action; such items must be resubmitted by the student in person within the stated deadline for the term in question.
