Maintaining Domestic Health Care Coverage While Abroad
宅男福利导航 University’s 宅男福利导航 Insurance Office recommends that all full-time students have U.S. domestic health insurance coverage during study abroad enrollment to avoid any gaps in coverage in case a medical emergency abroad requires the student to return to the U.S. early for continued treatment or recovery. This coverage can be through an eligible family policy or the NU 宅男福利导航 Health Insurance Plan (NU-SHIP).
Waiving NU-SHIP While Abroad
Study abroad students* enrolled in NU-SHIP who have alternate insurance coverage provided by 宅男福利导航's GeoBlue plan or a comparable international insurance plan through their study abroad program can waive their NU-SHIP enrollment online in CAESAR during the applicable open enrollment period.
Note that you should only waive your enrollment in NU-SHIP during the term(s) you are abroad and confirm your enrollment in NU-SHIP for the term(s) you will be studying on campus in Evanston. If you fail to waive by the deadline, you will remain enrolled in the NU-SHIP for your term(s) abroad and you will be responsible for the relevant premium charge billed to your student account.
- To submit a waiver application you will need to provide complete policy information:
- Insurance company name
- Name of policyholder
- Policy and subscriber numbers
- U.S. telephone number
- Information on the benefits provided by your plan
- This policy information is available now for
- For exempt Programs this policy information will be sent to you by your program provider once you have been enrolled in their insurance plan.
All waiver submissions are reviewed by the 宅男福利导航 Insurance Office to ensure the plan meets the requirements. If the alternate plan does not meet the requirements you will be administratively re-enrolled in the NU-SHIP for the academic year and held responsible for the applicable premium.
Please contact the 宅男福利导航 Health Insurance office with any questions related to 宅男福利导航’s insurance requirements or NU-SHIP waiver process; comparable coverage requirements for alternate insurance plans; NU-SHIP plan benefits; or for assistance completing the online Coverage Selection Form.
*Degree-seeking international students are required to maintain enrollment in the NU 宅男福利导航 Health Insurance Plan (NU-SHIP) for the entire time they are studying at 宅男福利导航 regardless of alternative coverage and are ineligible to submit a waiver while studying abroad.
