Health Insurance

All full-time domestic students are required to demonstrate proof of health insurance each academic year. Students are able to demonstrate proof of insurance through a waiver process or enrolling in the Drexel-sponsored plan.

International undergraduate students will be default enrolled into the Drexel University Dragon Plan. The premium amount for this plan will be placed on your student account. The only plan accepted in lieu of this plan will be Government-sponsored coverage. If you have a Government-sponsored insurance plan, you must submit proof of this once you arrive at the University by bringing a copy of your sponsored health insurance card to our office in Creese Student Center, room 215, by the posted deadline date. It is your responsibility to do this, and if you do not bring this verification to our office by the compliance deadline date, the premium amount will remain on your student account and you will be responsible for payment. This process must be completed each academic year.

• Government-sponsored students. Government-sponsored students whose home governments pay 100 percent of tuition and insurance are potentially eligible. (If your government sponsor only supplies funds to purchase a plan of your choice, you cannot waive. Your government must pay for the insurance directly, and the insurance provided must be a US-based plan.).
• Students with U.S.-based medical insurance paid by an employer. Students with U.S.-based insurance due to their employment, or their parents’ or spouses’ employment, might also be able to waive.

All student-veterans are required to demonstrate proof of health insurance each academic year. Students are able to demonstrate proof of insurance through a waiver process or enrolling in the Drexel-sponsored plan. For student-veterans, the military insurance is a form of acceptable coverage, and if you decide to waive the Drexel Student Health Insurance Plan, you can go to Drexel's UnitedHealthcare page and use your Tricare card to demonstrate proof of coverage. You can also bring your military ID to the Office of Health Insurance and Immunizations in the Creese Student Center, Suite 215 to waive the Drexel Student Health Insurance Plan by the deadline date.

If you do not waive or enroll in Drexel's Student Health Insurance Plan by the deadline, then you will be default enrolled into the plan and the premium amount will be placed on your University bill. Once this premium amount is added, it cannot be removed.
