Insurance
All students are required by the University to have health insurance, either under a parent's plan or purchased independently. The requirement assures that resources are available to cover inpatient or specialty care or expenses related to accidents or injuries. Undergraduates, check with your parents - you may already be covered under their health plan or have a separate plan for yourself. All new students must submit a copy of their health insurance card as proof of insurance along with the Pre-Entrance Health Record. For information regarding insurance claims click here.

Aetna Claims Reprocessing Initiative for Out of Network Claims:
Under an agreement reached with the New York Attorney General’s Office, Aetna Student Health will reimburse health insurance claims filed by over 73,000 students at over 200 colleges for out-of-network care. A total of 1,214 U.Va. students insured under the Aetna Student Health plan from 1998 to present will be impacted by the agreement. Only 193 of these students are currently enrolled at the University. Aetna will contact all 1,214 students directly. The total payment amount for all U.Va. students is $87,484. The average amount per claim is approximately $25. Some students will have more than one claim impacted.
