Health Coverage

There are two issues relating to health coverage:

1. Insurance
2. The Student Health Fee

Note: Student Health Insurance (SASI) and The Health Service Fee are two different things and this seems to confuse everyone.

Insurance 

If you paid for the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance coverage ( SASI ) for all three quarters this year (F/W/S), and have not lost eligibility (e.g., restricted status, leave of absence, etc), you will be covered through the summer at no additional cost until August 31. You don t have to do anything - this is automatic.

If you or a dependent started on the plan after fall quarter, you will be enrolled in the insurance and billed for summer quarter unless you already arranged to not be covered this summer.

If you have specific questions about your medical coverage through August 31, you can contact:

Tammie Halbert or Mary Gaffney
Insurance Coordinator, The Chickering Group
The University of Chicago Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan
phone: (773) 834-4543/ fax: (773) 834-4544
e-mail: sasi@chickering.uchicago.edu

Student Health Fee

Your decision about whether or not to pay the Student Health Fee depends on where you will be this summer.

For students staying in Chicago this summer:

If you are living within a 40-mile range of Chicago this summer and are on the student health plan, you can only get primary care on campus. If you opt to visit a doctor downtown for primary care, you cannot be reimbursed.

If you plan on seeing a doctor this summer including Student Counseling, you should pay the student health fee. The health fee gives you access to health facilities on campus. If you do not pay the fee and have to see a doctor, you will be billed for each of those services separately (despite having the student health insurance).

For more information go to http://registrar.uchicago.edu/health/. This fee is not automatically billed so you need to  be proactive and make arrangements to pay the fee. You can access the site anytime AFTER April 15, 2008.

Note: your health insurance does cover you for visits to emergency rooms (here and elsewhere) (assuming the insurance company determines it to be an emergency) and visits to a specialist on campus if the referral was made prior to the end of Spring Quarter (not counting Student Counseling).

Additional information is contained in the student health brochures copies are available on-line at: http://studenthealth.uchicago.edu/studentinsurance/downloads/SASI_brochure.pdf

For students leaving town this summer:

If you are leaving town, you will not need to pay this Student Health Fee because your health insurance. SASI covers you like regular insurance where you pay a deductible and the plan covers the balance as described in the student health brochures. Copies are available on-line at: http://studenthealth.uchicago.edu/studentinsurance/downloads/SASI_brochure.pdf

Insurance After August 31st:

Post graduation coverage option for alumni is available from Meyer and Associates. Their information is in the Dean of Students Office and on line at http://www.meyerandassoc.com. Meyer sells bridge insurance (short term health insurance ranging from 30 days to 6 months). Because they affiliate with many Universities, you can get a group rate which makes the premiums lower than they would be for individual health plans. There are also group plans available through the ABA and other law related organizations. These plans have no relationship to the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance, but are separate plans with their own provisions.
