FIVE THINGS you need to know about Student Blue Health Insurance

Waive requirements: You must provide proof of other health insurance coverage to waive coverage through Student Blue. Other health insurance includes coverage under a parent/guardian health insurance plan or coverage under your personal plan. Medicaid will not be waived for out of state students due very limited or no medical benefits in North Carolina. Student athletes may not waive the health insurance.
Enroll requirements: If you do not meet the waiver requirements by January 31, 2023, you will remain enrolled in Student Blue Health Insurance.
The health insurance premium automatically appears on your student bill. If you complete the waiver process, and your waiver is approved, the cost will be removed from your student bill.
