MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE Embry-Riddle requires all students to have health insurance. To help fulfill this requirement, the university offers a basic insurance plan that is underwritten by United Healthcare. The plan is offered at a reduced premium and is renewable on an annual basis. Enrollment is automatic. Students who already have private coverage that is comparable to the plan that the university offers may be allowed to waive the university-sponsored plan. You must complete the waiver in order to avoid this charge to your student account. Additional information regarding the plan and instructions for those who wish to waive out will be forthcoming from United Healthcare. For more information, please contact the Wellness Center at 928.777.6653 . These same requirements apply to international students. This process will take place during New Student Orientation. If you are a J1 visa holder, in addition to the university health insurance requirements, you must ensure your insurance meets the following conditions outlined by the Department of State (22 CFR 62.14): Program participants and their dependents are required to have medical insurance coverage with the following minimum benefits for their full length of stay (22 CFR 62.14): • Medical benefits of at least $100,000 per accident or illness • Repatriation of remains in the amount of at least $25,000 • Expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the exchange visitor to his or her home country in the amount of at least $50,000 • A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness
IMMUNIZATIONS A Medical Report Form is required and can be found in ERNIE > Tools > Medical/Health Portal > My Forms. All students born after Dec. 31, 1956, must provide proof of two doses of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) administered on or after Jan. 1, 1968, and on or after their first birthday. All students who reside in university housing must either document the immunizations for hepatitis B and meningococcal meningitis or sign a waiver declining vaccination. Vaccines are given at the Wellness Center. Immunization records and the Medical Report Form must be on file in the Wellness Center before orientation to avoid registration hold, housing check-in hold, EagleCard hold, inability to pay bill and other holds.
