Student Health

Health insurance is MANDATORY for students (see student handbook).

The EVMS Student Health Program is made up of four separate parts which consist of the Student Health Site, Mental Health, Occupational Health and the United Health Care Insurance offering. 

Detailed information about what is covered under the Student Health Fee is available by clicking on the link below.

Student Health Fee Information

The EVMS Student Health Insurance plan is offered by UnitedHealthcare StudentResources, underwritten by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company.

Coverage is effective August 1st of each academic year and continues thru July 30th. 

Each year, all full-time registered students are automatically enrolled in the EVMS Student Health Insurance Plan unless proof of comparable coverage is provided. 

Students who enroll in the United Health Care Plan must see their assigned site before seeking care outside of the student's assigned site.  Failure to do so will result in denial of claims.  Site assignments are available on the student portal.

Those students who wish to waive the Student Health Insurance must do so by completing a Student Health Insurance Waiver. 

Student Health Waiver Information

For those students who will be keeping the student health insurance coverage and may need to see a physician or fill prescriptions you may click on the enrollment link below and complete the enrollment process.  Once enrolled visit the United Health Care website and follow the instructions to create a student health insurance account.  Once created temporary cards can be printed.

Students that wait till the end of the waiver period to be default enrolled will not receive an insurance card until the end of the waiver period.

Once enrolled a card will be mailed to the address provided within 48 hours.

At the close of the waiver period a report will be provided to Financial Services and student accounts will be adjusted accordingly. 

Failure to complete the waiver or if your waiver is denied due to inadequate existing coverage, the fee will stand and you will be covered by the EVMS Injury and Sickness insurance plan.   

Please note that the spring waiver is for new students only; students who fail to waive in the fall semester will be covered for the entire plan year.
