Health Insurance
Students who will have coverage under a separate health insurance plan, covering them while in the Utica, NY area, may choose to waive the school's Aetna Student Health Insurance and have the charge removed from their billing invoice. To waive the insurance students must complete the online Student Health Insurance Form and provide proof of their existing insurance coverage.
Students who will not be insured under a separate health insurance plan will need to enroll in the school's Aetna Student Health Insurance. To enroll students must complete the online Student Health Insurance Form.
Deductible
All students will have a $100 in-network deductible. This means that your first $100 of in-network healthcare expenses will need to be paid out-of-pocket. Once you’ve paid the $100 deductible your insurance coverage will begin paying a certain percentage of your expenses. You will only be responsible for the co-insurance (refer to the Benefits Brochure below).
