Student Academic Appointees (SAAs) and Fellowship Recipients
Mandatory Student Health Insurance 2008-2009

The plan is administered by Aetna Student Health. All information on rates, plan benefits, claim procedures and exclusions are stated in the Mandatory Student Health Insurance Plan brochure.

The information contained herein is intended to provide an overview of the Indiana University Student Health Insurance Plan. Students should not use this information in making decisions pertaining to health insurance coverage.


Eligibility

Participation in the Student Health Insurance Plan is mandatory for Indiana University Student Academic Appointees and Fellowship Recipients unless proof of comparable coverage is presented, and a waiver is filed by the waiver deadline. Student Academic Appointees and Fellowship Recipients are automatically enrolled in the student insurance plan each semester and the cost of the student premium is paid by the university.

All Student Academic Appointees (SAAs) appointed with 37.5% FTE or above for the corresponding semester, Fall and/or Spring and all Fellowship recipients with an award of $3,230 or more per semester are automatically enrolled in this Insurance Plan which is fully subsidized by the university or external funding agency. All graduate students on an academic appointment at or above 37.5% FTE must enroll in six credit hours or G901 each semester on appointment (summer excluded). Fellowship recipients must be enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours per semester.

Home study, correspondence, internet classes (with the exception of Nursing PhD candidates) and television courses do not fulfill the eligibility requirements. If and whenever Aetna Student Health discovers the eligibility requirements have not been met, its only obligation is refund of premium; less any claims paid.


Coverage Period
Enrollment Deadlines for Dependents

Eligible students may also insure their dependents. Eligible dependents are the spouse/same-sex domestic partner (residing with the Insured student) and unmarried children under the age of 24. Dependent eligibility is effective and expires concurrently with that of the insured student. Enrollment applications for dependents must be received by Aetna Student Health no later than September 15, 2008 for the Fall Semester and January 31, 2009 for the Spring Semester. If the deadline has passed, you may not enroll your dependents for coverage until the next coverage period, provided an application and appropriate premium have been received by Aetna Student Health prior to or on the established deadline.
