Premier Plan Waiver Approval Process

You Have Other Health Insurance and Wish to Waive the Premier Plan

Eligible students are mandated and charged the student rate for the applicable Term of Coverage. Students who submit an approved waiver during the applicable Open Enrollment Period will have the entire student rate refunded on their Student Account. Prorated refunds are not granted.

You may waive the Premier Plan offered by the University during your applicable Open Enrollment Period, if you have other adequate health insurance that meets the following criteria:

• Coverage of at least $100,000 per illness and $100,000 per injury;
• A Plan that has coverage in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area;
• A Plan in effect no later than the last day of your applicable Open Enrollment Period; and,
• A Plan that will remain in effect for the remainder of your academic year.

Documentation of Other Coverage for the Entirety of Your Academic Year

In addition to submitting an online waiver, additional proof of coverage may be requested, such as a Certificate of Coverage written in English, which:

• Indicates that the coverage will remain in effect for the entire academic year, beginning no later than the last day of your applicable Open Enrollment Period - September 15, or January 31;
• Indicates coverage for inpatient and outpatient treatment;
• Separately itemizes coverage of at least $100,000 per illness and $100,000 per injury;
• Clearly differentiates the required medical coverage from optional accidental death and dismemberment coverage;
• Indicates coverage for non-emergent care in the D.C. area;
• Indicates worldwide coverage or coverage in the United States; and
• Specifically states coverage amounts in U.S. dollars.

All waiver questions must be answered and are subject to approval by the GU Student Health Insurance Office. To confirm approval of your waiver and that the charge has been removed from your student account, please log into via "MyAccess".
