Students appointed to full academic-year assistantships have
comprehensive health insurance as employees. Most fellows and trainees are also
provided single-coverage health insurance through the Student Health Insurance Plan.
The university has designed a health insurance plan for Rutgers students with
United Healthcare. The fee for the Student Health Insurance Plan is included in
the term bill of all full-time students. If a student has an alternate health
insurance plan, he or she can complete an online waiver form and remove the
fee. If the waiver is not completed, the student will be enrolled in the Student
Health Insurance Plan. There is no overall maximum dollar limit on the policy. Plan
details, including waiver and enrollment information, may be found at https://www.universityhealthplans.com. Students
also may purchase coverage for their spouses and children at additional
cost. For further information,
