Student Health Insurance
New and returning students are able to enroll in the 2009-2010 Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan until September 30, 2009.
New students starting this summer can enroll in the Summer
Bridge plan by contacting Aetna. The deadline for enrollment is June 26,
2009. This plan is for NEW students only.
To enroll, please visit
www.aetnastudenthealth.com
or, visit the Health Insurance department in the Health Center
After this time students may
only enroll if they: 1) Experience a qualifying life event, such as
being dropped from a parent’s insurance as a result of age; 2) Lose
insurance coverage as a result of a parent or guardian being laid off;
3) Are a NEW student in the Spring or Summer semester; or 4) During
annual enrollment each Fall.
New students, returning students, and parents: We are pleased to announce that UCF has approved a Student Health Insurance Plan for the 2009 - 2010 school year. The Plan is administered Aetna Student Health, and is significantly enhanced with benefits at a very attractive premium. We encourage you to take time to review the details of the Plan as you consider how to protect yourself against the increasingly high cost of medical care - costs that can occur at any time because of an unexpected accident or serious illness.
The Plan is designed to complement the state-mandated health fee, which is included in the tuition payment. Although the health fee entitles students to unlimited access to UCF Health Services without an office charge, and sets charges for services (x-rays, lab tests, etc.) at below average rates, it does not cover specialty care, medical transport or hospital services. That’s why students need another level of protection - a plan that provides financial benefits by covering many of the medical care costs associated with illness or injury.
We are pleased to recommend this Plan for your consideration. Not only does it cover nearly all charges incurred through UCF Health Services, it also provides substantial benefits in Central Florida, nationwide, and even when traveling or studying abroad. We encourage you to visit Aetna’s website or contact their Customer Service Department (1.866.378.8881) for more information. The Health Services Insurance Department can be reached at 407.823.1649
