Student Health Insurance
As of 2010, US federal law requires all US citizens to carry health insurance, and in accordance with this legislation, Holy Names University expects all enrolled students to carry health insurance. This law allows individuals 26 years old and younger the opportunity to remain on parental health insurance policies. Students 26 years of age and under are encouraged to talk with their parents about enrollment in their parents’ policy. For more information regarding young adults’ health insurance coverage, click here.
Additionally, Holy Names University requires all international students to carry health insurance. International students must provide a copy of their health insurance policy information to Olivia Mendez Alm, 510-436-1333.
If you need to acquire health insurance, HNU strongly encourages you to investigate a variety of health insurance plans in order to select one that will best meet your individual health care needs.
Holy Names University will no longer directly enroll students in a health insurance policy. It is your responsibility under the new legislation, to ensure that you have appropriate health insurance coverage.
HNU does offer one plan that is available to all HNU students (including graduate students) through United Health Care. Please review the brochure available below to compare the policy with other insurance plans available on the open market to see if this plan meets your health care needs. If you choose to enroll in this plan, please fill out the enrollment form provided and send it directly to the UHCSR enrollment offices, or you can enroll online at: https://www.uhcsr.com/SelfServiceSupport/Students/CollegeHome.aspx
