You have the option to (1) enroll in the Fall 2024 Aetna plan or (2) waive coverage with your personal health insurance plan.
- Enroll: If you want to enroll in the Aetna health insurance plan, please select the option to enroll online. The $1,403 international health insurance charge will then be added to your myWings bill. You can visit https://www.aetnastudenthealth.com/en/school/198845/index.html to get access to your Aetna health insurance ID card.
- Waive: If submitting an electronic waiver, the AHP team will be validating that your health insurance plan benefits are meeting the requirements each semester (https://unf.myahpcare.com/waiver). This electronic auditing process is for your benefit and ensures that you can get access to any needed healthcare services. You are required to upload a health insurance ID card, dates of active coverage, and documentation of plan benefits. You do not need to upload the UNF compliance form. If your waiver is denied, you will need to obtain a different personal health insurance plan that meets the requirements or opt to enroll in the Aetna plan.
Lessons learned from previous waiver processes:
Most common reasons for a denied waiver:
- Failure to provide document(s) with plan benefits. This is needed in addition to your health insurance ID card.
- Policy documents not in English.
- Policy documents not in US dollars.
