Students enrolling for a first day of coverage between August 14th and September 4th will be charged the same annual rate and will have coverage effective 24 hours after their enrollment request is processed by the school. Coverage is not retroactive.​ 

Please note: If you need to end your LewerMark coverage due to a Leave of Absence, withdrawal from school, or you change to a status other than F-1 or J-1 before the annual coverage period ends, please email [email protected]​ to request a refund for any unused months of coverage.​ It is the student's resposibility to reach out proactively.

When requesting to waive enrollment in LewerMark's health plan, students need to complete the LewerMark Health Insurance Waiver Request Form as well as submit a copy of their full policy in English by the semester deadline. All waiver requests can be sent to [email protected]. In order to waive coverage with LewerMark, students need to meet one of the following three requirements:

1. The student's parent/spouse is employed by a United States based company that provides Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant coverage which covers the student.
2. The student arrived in the United States with health insurance because he or she participates in a government/exchange student program, such as SACM.
3. The student is currently covered by an insurance plan from the home country. This plan must meet or exceed the benefits offered by issued LewerMark plan and be valid in the United States.
   

Please note:

• Emergency-only and/or travel plan will not be accepted for the purposes of waiving out of the LewerMark coverage.
• Also note, plans offered by the following companies will not be accepted as a valid waiver in any circumstance:
  
• GBG, HCC, IMG, ISI, ISO, ISP, PGH, PSI
  
• This is only a partial list of plans that are not acceptable waiver plans.
  

Students are welcome to start submitting their requests as soon as they have them. The deadline for submitting a waiver is the add/drop deadline of the semester. Late waiver requests will not be accepted. All dates are available via the Registrar's Academic Calendar. 

Please note that waivers are approved for only the current academic year and do not carry over to the next academic year.  If you had an approved waiver during a prior year, you must submit and have approved a new waiver by the fall semester deadline of the new academic year, if you wish to continue waiving the LewerMark health insurance.
