Your Health & Dental Plan

Overview

The UWSA, on behalf of its members, negotiates a health and dental plan for those students who are not already covered under their own or their parent’s benefit plans. This service is provided for students in order to reduce the costs of a benefit plan for students that are not already covered. In this way we use our collective strength in numbers to negotiate services students need to ensure a safe and healthy university experience. The policy coverage ceases August 31st, of each year. Students have the opportunity to opt-out of the plan if they can show proof of alternate coverage.
