BYUH Student Insurance
BYU-Hawaii requires all full-time continuing students to have adequate medical insurance for the duration of their enrollment at BYU-Hawaii. In other words, you must have insurance the entire time you are a continuing BYU-Hawaii student, including during any summers you take off or other short-term breaks from classes.
To satisfy the University insurance requirement, you must enroll in either the BYU-Hawaii Student Health Plan or a group medical plan provided by your employer or your spouse's or parents' employer. For any other medical insurance plan to meet these requirement, it must:
- Provide at least 80% coverage for all major medical expenses, including physician, hospital, and ancillary services
- Have an individual annual deductible of no more than $500
- Have an annual plan limit of no less than $25,000
- Include medical care and treatment in Hawaii
If you choose a medical plan other than the Student Health Plan, you must complete an online waiver verification form showing adequate insurance coverage at the beginning of your first semester/term and at the beginning of each academic year thereafter (fall semester).
Students enrolled for 9 or more credit hours per semester or 4.5 or more credit hours per term who do not properly complete an online waiver form as indicated above, will automatically be enrolled for individual coverage and assessed the appropriate premium.
Spouses and dependents will not be enrolled automatically the first semester or term that you are on the plan. If you want coverage for your spouse and dependents you must come in to the the insurance office and enroll them in the plan by completing a Student Insurance enrollment form.
If you drop below the ¾ time of the full time status at any time during the academic year (including taking a semester or term off), you will be enrolled in Away-from-campus-Coverage.
