Rochester Institute of TechnologySTUDENT ACCIDENT & SICKNESS INSURANCE PROGRAM
|
||||||||||||
|
Dear Students, Parents and / or Guardians: RIT is concerned about the health, safety and general physical and mental well-being of our students. We recognize, however, that students may encounter accidents and sickness while enrolled at RIT. RIT’s Student Health Center is available for students to use when medical attention is needed. To supplement this, RIT offers a voluntary student insurance program through University Health Plans, Inc. All students are required to have adequate medical insurance coverage. |
|
We encourage you to review RIT’s medical insurance plan coverage by simply clicking on "Brochure" in the upper left of this page. This will link you to important information about health care services and programs offered by the Student Health Center as well as detail the benefits offered in RIT's Student Insurance Plan.
The 2009-10 Plans provide substantial benefits for covered medical expenses at a reasonable cost. Coverage includes the "Basic Student Accident & Sickness Plan” and the optional "Enhanced Supplemental Medical Plan". Coverage is also available for a student's spouse and/or dependent children at an additional charge. RIT also maintains, at no charge to the students, the "Excess Accident Plan" that is available to all RIT students for accidents occurring on campus or off-campus during an RIT sponsored activity.
Enrollment is voluntary for all students except A, B, E, F, G, I, J, K, O, Q, R or V -visa international students. To enroll click on the Yes, I want to enroll link. (F-visa international students please see the International Student enrollment process below) Insurance enrollment must be completed by September 30, 2009 for students registered in Fall Quarter, or within the first 30 days if first enrollment for 2009-10 occurs in a later quarter. All insurance enrollment information submitted online to University Health Plans, Inc. is protected through VeriSign on a secure website.
International Student Enrollment Process
ALL international undergraduate and graduate students (full and part-time) on A, B, E, F, G, I, J, K, O, Q, R or V-visas will be automatically enrolled in the Basic Accident and Sickness policy on a semi-annual basis, based on registration status, and billed by the Bursar's Office. Certain foreign scholars will be eligible for exemption from RIT's required insurance enrollment and will not be billed for this coverage. To waive this coverage refer to the RIT Center for Transition & Support website for special conditions and instructions:

For parents of entering students, we urge you to evaluate the RIT Student Insurance Plan for your student, not only based upon the absence of insurance coverage, but as an important Rochester medical community-based supplement to existing insurance coverage.
