Geneva College
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN

2024-2025 Policy Year

Full-time traditional undergraduate students enrolled in 12 or more credit hours are required to have health insurance while attending Geneva College.

Geneva College has partnered with University Health Plans to administer the plan and help with any waiver, enrollment, or general benefit-related questions.

Premium and Coverage Periods

Student Enrollment Process

Students planning to use the student health insurance plan should complete the enrollment form in the navigation menu to the left to transfer their information to the insurance company before the deadline. After the waiver deadline, students who did not submit a form will be automatically enrolled in the SHIP retroactive to August 1, 2024.

Waiver Process

Students covered by a comprehensive health insurance plan can opt-out of the SHIP by completing the waiver form in the navigation menu to the left. Before waiving, you are encouraged to compare the cost, coverage, and benefits of the SHIP to your existing plan. Please consider the following:

• Many out of state HMO, EPO, and Medicaid plans do not provide in-network benefits in Pennsylvania leaving you responsible for medical expenses while attending Geneva College
• Many plans do not cover referrals made by Health Services or cover them at a higher cost

If you do not submit a waiver form by the deadline, you will be enrolled in the SHIP and responsible for the premium.
