Mandatory Health Insurance Requirement

NSU requires all students to maintain medical health insurance coverage. Upon class registration, you'll automatically be enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan, with charges applied to your student account accordingly. Keep track of your account status through NSU eBill.

Remember, the U.S. Healthcare System doesn't provide universal coverage, and medical services entail financial risks. Be sure to review why health insurance is essential for your well-being.

Claims from Select Providers listed in the United Healthcare's Certificate of Coverage (pages 86-87) may not have a deductible or copayment, but payment is not guaranteed until a claim is received. Benefit payment depends on applicable policy provisions at the time of service.

Out-of-network providers may bill students for costs exceeding the plan's payment. If an emergency room or physician bills you more than your cost share, forward the bill with your member ID for resolution.
