Health Insurance Waiver

Summer Session Only students, in addition to all freshmen, transfer, and graduate students new to UIC, are assessed the CampusCare Health Insurance Fee as part of their tuition and fees and are automatically enrolled in CampusCare. Campus Care is a University-sponsored student health benefit program designed to provide comprehensive health care benefits for protection against accidents and unexpected illnesses. Students enrolled in CampusCare may also enroll qualified dependents.

Campus Care coverage starts for all enrolled students on Monday, May 19, 2008, regardless if they are in the 4-week session or the 8-week session or both, as long as they have registered for courses before Tuesday, June 10, 2008. If you register for courses after June 10, 2008 your coverage will begin on the date you register. In order to avoid problems with access to coverage, the Campus Care office advises you to register for courses before May 19. Coverage will end for all enrolled summer students on Sunday, August 24, 2008.

The Health Insurance Fee will be one of the fees that appear on your E-bill, the online student account statement. The rate for the 2008 Summer Session will be $264. (Note: Fees are subject to change prior to the start of the term.)

If you have comparable health insurance coverage, you may "opt out" of CampusCare by submitting an online Waiver Form on the “Forms” page on the CampusCare website by June 10, 2008. You will be asked to provide your University Identification Number (UIN), which will appear on your Notice of Admission letter as your Applicant ID, and information about your insurance company on the Waiver Form. Once approved, a waiver remains in effect until a Reinstatement Application Form is submitted by the published deadline. 

For detailed information about CampusCare, or to submit an online Waiver Form, Dependent Enrollment Form, or Reinstatement Application Form, please visit the CampusCare website.

Note that the CampusCare Health Insurance Fee is different from the Health Service Fee, which is a mandatory fee and cannot be waived. For more information about services covered by the Health Service Fee, please go to the “About” page on the Department of Family Medicine website.
