To protect our student’s health and wellbeing, Barry University strongly recommends that all students remain properly insured with health insurance that provides them full health care benefits in the location they are taking classes or participating clinical rotations. Barry University is pleased to be able to continue to offer a group health insurance plan to all undergraduate students taking 9 or more credit hours in Fall and Spring and 3 credit hours in Summer, and Graduate students taking 4 or more credit hours each semester. The 2023/24 student insurance will be offered through United Healthcare Student Resources. This coverage provides national coverage throughout the United States.
All students who are residing in campus housing will be automatically billed for the student health plan. In addition, all international students attending Barry on an F1 or J1 visa, all student athletes participating in Varsity and JV athletics, undergraduate nursing students and graduate students enrolled in the Podiatric, Physician Assistant, Anesthesia, Law, Graduate OT and Graduate Social Work, will be billed automatically at the start of the semester in which they are beginning their studies at Barry (Fall or Spring or Summer), and will continue to be billed at registration unless a waiver is completed and approved.
All students billed for the student insurance plan are responsible to provide proof of other private insurance through a hard waiver process during the waiver period. If the student’s private insurance is determined to meet the waiver requirements by an independent audit through the waiver system, they will receive an approval and their student account will be adjusted. A waiver will be required each Fall semester thereafter. Students failing to do a waiver during the open wavier period, will be responsible for the cost of the student insurance plan on their student account.
Students who apply for resident housing will be billed for the student insurance plan and will be responsible to complete the waiver if billed even if they make the decision not to move in or decide to move off campus during the semester. Students will not be credited for the student insurance after the waiver period.
It is the student’s responsibility to read their Barry assigned email and check their student account. Failure to read emails will not be a reason to reverse the billing for the student health insurance after the waiver period.
Beginning in the Fall Semester 2023, commuting students will no longer be billed for the student insurance, unless they are enrolled in a program that requires insurance or are attending Barry on an F1 or J1 visa. Commuters will have the ability to voluntarily enroll in the 2023-2024 student insurance plan during the open enrollment periods. More information regarding voluntary enrollment will be available at https://myahpcare.com/barry.
