Graduating Students

If you are currently insured under the UC Hastings Student Health Insurance plan, your coverage ends at 12 a.m. on 8/24/2010 for Spring graduates. COBRA coverage is not available for student insurance.

SHS strongly encourages all students, regardless of age or health status, to arrange for some sort of short term policy. UC Hastings does not endorse any specific policies.  Here are some options for you to consider:

·             Information on individual short term insurance plans is available at http://www.renstudent.com/Students/ShortTerm_Individ.htm.  Pricing for individual policies varies by age, type of coverage and geographic location. 

·             If you have a known chronic health condition, California Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board (MRMIB) is an option. For more info, go to http://www.mrmib.ca.gov/mrmib/MRMIB4.html. The wait period varies for this program (sometimes 3 or more months). Apply as soon as possible for MRMIB because of the wait period.
