Crisis, after-hours and emergency care information for students. |
All students are required to have health insurance during their time at CSU. Students will be automatically enrolled in the CSU Student Health Insurance Plan unless they waive the plan by showing proof of private health insurance.
Health Insurance Waiver and Enrollment Portal is currently closed.
The waiver process takes less than five minutes to complete and requires only the information on your insurance card and the plan holder’s date of birth.
CSU Health Network is every student’s on-campus home for health care, regardless of your insurance plan. Students do not need to be enrolled in SHIP to access our wide array of services. CSU Health Network is in network with most major insurance carriers and can file claims with them. Students’ out-of-pocket costs are dependent on their health insurance plan benefits. We suggest contacting your insurance carrier in advance to see how your plan will cover visits to the CSU Health Network. Our Tax ID and Provider NPIs are located on the Meet Our Staff page.
Waivers may be approved for the following types of insurance plans:

The end of the insurance enrollment and waiver period is approximately two weeks after the start of classes, the same day as the CSU add/drop date. After that date the insurance cannot be cancelled or purchased and no refund can be issued.
Students must meet this requirement their first semester at CSU and every fall semester thereafter.
The CSU Student Health Insurance Plan costs approximately $334 per month with an in-network $1,000 deductible and 80/20 co-insurance outside the CSU Health Network and minimal to no cost sharing inside the CSU Health Network.
The CSU Health Network insurance staff sends the roster of students enrolled in SHIP at the beginning of the plan year to AmeriBen (claims administrator) so that students can receive prescription medications and care at the beginning of the semester. For more detailed information about SHIP and coverage periods, click here.
Students who do not have other health insurance coverage or do not complete a health insurance waiver will remain enrolled in the CSU Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) and the student account will be billed for the semester coverage.
Students may opt-out of SHIP for the next semester with their own health plan during the next open enrollment period.
