IU Postdoctoral Fellows and Professional Students 2012-2013

The IU Postdoctoral Fellow and Professional Student Insurance Plan (formerly known as the IU School of Medicine Student insurance Plan) is sponsored by Indiana University and administered by Aetna. All information on rates, plan benefits, claim procedures and exclusions are stated in the Health Insurance Plan brochure (PDF). The policy number for IU is 812801. If you would like to waive this plan you can access the waiver here.

Eligibility

Participation in the Student Health Insurance Plan is mandatory for all students in the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM), School of Dentistry (IUSD) and for all Postdoctoral Fellows unless proof of comparable coverage is presented, and a waiver is filed by the waiver deadline. You will automatically be enrolled in the insurance plan each semester and the cost of the premium will be billed through the bursar. An email that explains the waiver process will be sent out each plan year.

Dependents

Eligible students may also insure their dependents. Eligible dependents are the spouse/same-sex domestic partner (residing with the Insured student) and unmarried children under the age of 26. Dependent eligibility is effective and expires concurrently with that of the insured student. If the deadline has passed your dependents may not enroll for coverage until the next coverage period, unless there has been a significant life change (i.e., marriage, birth, loss of prior coverage). If the enrollment form is submitted within 30 days of the qualifying event, coverage will be backdated to begin on the date of the qualifying event. If the enrollment form is submitted after the 30 days of the qualifying event, it will not be accepted, and the student and his/her dependents will have to wait until the next annual open enrollment period to enroll. Please contact the Student Health Coordinator for more information, 812-856-4650.

Dependents of Postdoctoral Fellows beginning their affiliation mid-year will have 30 days from the date of appointment to submit their dependent enrollment form. If the enrollment form is submitted within 30 days of the appointment, coverage will be backdated to the date of appointment. If the enrollment form is submitted 30 days after the date of the appointment, it will not be accepted in the absence of a significant life change, and the dependent will have to wait until the next open enrollment period to enroll the dependent. Contact the Human Resources Administration Office for premium information. The completed dependent enrollment form should be submitted directly to Aetna Student Health.

Dependent enrollment applications must be received by Aetna no later than the Enrollment Deadline dates below.
