Health Insurance

All NYU-Poly students (undergraduate and graduate) who are enrolled in 9 or more credits for the Fall semester will automatically be enrolled in our school-sponsored health insurance plan. The fee for this plan will be placed on your tuition bill. Domestic students may choose to opt out of the insurance plan (see below). 

The Waiver deadline for Fall 2009 domestic student waivers has passed.

If you have any questions about NYU-Poly’s plan, please contact Malinda Townsend of Collegiate Insurance Resources at 800-322-9901. See below for:

Coverage, Cost, and Policies

Cost

The annual fee is $565 per student. This will be charged semesterly ($283 for fall 2008; $282 for spring 2009) and will be placed on your tuition bill.

International Students

You are REQUIRED to enroll in the school-sponsored plan as part of your enrollment at NYU-Poly. You must print your insurance card by October 2. 

Domestic Students

You MUST complete the enrollment information by October 2 for fall coverage.

Waiving NYU-Poly Insurance

If you are a DOMESTIC student and have private insurance with comparable coverage, you have until October 2 to waive the NYU-Poly plan online. Applying for a waiver does not automatically waive you out of the plan; the insurance carrier will contact you if there are questions regarding your waiver.

Part-time Students

If you are enrolled in fewer than 9 credits, NYU-Poly-sponsored insurance is optional. The fee per semester for coverage is $300 dollars. (see form above)

Coverage for Spouses and Children

Please refer to the Dependent Coverage form above for costs and instructions about enrolling your spouse and child(ren).

Non-Insurance Discount Program

A voluntary discount program is available to all NYU-Poly students. It provides students, and those within their household, with discounts on the following services: vision care, dental care, prescription drugs, chiropractic care, alternative medicine, hearing services, vitamins and nutritional supplements, and a national fitness program. Discounts range from 10-50% depending upon the services utilized. The annual cost is $29. Again, this is a discount program and is not health insurance. For more information visit Best Benefits Discount Program.

Dental Care

Through our affiliation with NYU, the College of Denistry Stu-Dent plan is now available to NYU-Poly students. This program is not associated with the NYU-Poly student health insurance plan.

What is Stu-Dent?
The Stu-Dent plan offered by New York University College of Dentistry provides quality, hassle-free dental services to restore and maintain your teeth and gums – at a time in your life when it is critical to do so. We provide treatment at convenient times and in a convenient location, making it easy to fit dental care into your busy schedule. And our low enrollment fee is less than it would cost to visit us just once for a check-up, cleaning & x-ray.
