The Blue Cross/Blue Shield (BC/BS) plan provides extensive benefits for ambulatory and
inpatient care not offered at UHS. BC/BS coverage is compulsory for all nonimmigrant
international students and for all other students who do not have comparable insurance.
International students whose spouse and/or children will also be living in the United
States are required to enroll in the family plan. U.S. students who have comparable insurance
may elect to waive BC/BS coverage; this must be done by September 30 for fall and
February 28 for spring.
Note: UHS and BC/BS coverage extends from August 1 through July 31.
