Health Plan Topic of the Week: When is the deadline for making claims?

April 8th, 2015

There isn’t a single deadline for when you can make a claim each school year. You have 12 months from the date of the claim – the day you went to the doctor, dentist, or professional – to send the receipts and General Claim Form to Green Shield.

Don’t stress about getting your claim forms in during exams, send them in when you’re completely finished the term.

April 1st, 2015

The UWSA Health Plan covers you until the end of the summer!

All plans, regardless of what term you started classes, go until August 31st, 2015. If you’re graduating or not taking courses this Spring Term, your plan will still go until August 31st.

Contact your Health Plan Coordinator about options for health coverage for next year if you’re graduating, or won’t be taking courses. Green Shield offers plans for people who are losing their health plan, so long as you apply within 60 days of it ending.
