Salve Regina University
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN

2023-2024 Academic Year

As you prepare for the 2023-24 academic year, we urge you to consider your health insurance coverage a top priority. It is important that students have access to comprehensive medical care while enrolled at Salve Regina University. Therefore, all undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in the University’s Student Health Insurance Plan for coverage effective August 15, 2023 - August 14, 2024. Each student’s account will be charged the annual insurance premium. Should you wish to waive the insurance and fee follow the instructions below.

The Student Health Insurance Plan is underwritten by Wellfleet Insurance Company. Claims are paid by Wellfleet Group. Salve Regina has partnered with University Health Plans to administer the plan and help with waiver, enrollment, or benefit-related questions. University Health Plans can be reached at 833-251-1140 or info@univhealthplans.com. 

Insurance Cost & Coverage Periods

Please be advised that by waiving Salve’s Student Health Insurance Plan you are accepting responsibility for the first $1,500 of expenses for an intercollegiate sports injury. Before Waiving SHIP

If you are considering waiving Salve’s Student Health Insurance Plan, please note that some insurance plans are restrictive and may leave students essentially uninsured while away at school. This could result in you incurring substantial out-of-pocket costs for medical care. In evaluating your plan, you must verify the following.

• My plan provides adequate coverage that is accessible in the Newport area for:
  • Lab tests and x-rays
  • Prescription drugs
  • Hospitalization (including room & board, physicians’ fees and surgical expenses)
  • Outpatient hospital services
  • Mental health care
  • Emergency room care
  • Intercollegiate sports injuries (for those participating)
• My plan will cover me through August 14, 2024
• My plan does not have a high deductible that needs to be met before I am allowed to access coverage.

Waiver Process: For students, participation in the Salve Regina University Health Insurance Plan is mandatory unless you are enrolled in another comparable health insurance plan. If you choose to waive, you will need to provide proof of comparable coverage by submitting the on-line waiver form by August 15, 2023. A credit in the amount of the Health Insurance Fee will be posted to your student account when we receive the Waiver Form.
