UC Student Health Insurance Plan
UC SHIP is a systemwide plan providing enhanced health benefits to all enrolled students. All registered students are automatically enrolled in UC SHIP, but if you have comparable insurance and you do not want to keep UC SHIP as dual coverage, you must submit a request to waive enrollment by the specified deadline. For more information about the plan, visit the Anthem Blue Cross UC SHIP website.

Students with UC SHIP are expected to seek non-emergency services at the Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center first after which they can be referred as needed to an outside participating Anthem network provider. The student must obtain a referral from the Ashe Center before receiving non-emergency medical services.  Claims will not be considered without the Ashe Center referral.

 

Students are responsible for no more than $3,000 of out-of-pocket expenses each plan year when using Anthem Blue Cross network providers. If you have paid $3,000 in coinsurance for in-network services (excluding deductibles, Pharmacy copayments, and other co-payments such as office visits), you will no longer be required to pay co-insurance for the remainder of the plan year. The out-of-pocket maximum does not apply to amounts exceeding stated benefit limits (for example, Pharmacy or Physical Therapy limits) or to services not covered by the plan.
