Health Insurance Requirement
In August 2009, the University Of North Carolina Board Of Governors implemented a hard waiver student health insurance requirement for all sixteen campuses in the University of North Carolina system.  To ensure that this requirement is met, students will automatically be billed for the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) each semester through their Student Account.  For students who have a credible health insurance plan and wish to not participate in SHIP, they must submit their active health insurance information by completing an online waiver. Once a waiver has been submitted and approved, University Cashier’s will remove the Student Health Insurance Plan premium from the student’s account.

Note: Waivers must be submitted EACH semester by the posted deadline in order to receive a premium refund.  Refunds are not given after the posted deadline.

Billing and Insurance
Most NC State students pay the Student Health Services fee (funds on-campus medical and mental health services at Student Health Services and the Counseling Center) as part of their tuition and fees package.  The fee allows students, at no cost for the office visit, the convenience of utilizing our services no matter what insurance carrier they use.  However, there are additional costs associated with tests, procedures, labs, X-rays, immunizations and some routine exams.  Since we strive to keep costs low, it is often in the best interest of students to receive medical care on campus regardless of their insurance plan.
