According to University Health Services, or UHS, spokesperson Tami Cate, UHS is thinking about increasing the deductible, or price students pay for outside health care, from $300 to $500. Cate indicated that UHS will be communicating with both the Student Health Advisory Committee and the Disabled Students Program about the potential change.
At the ASUC’s general meeting Wednesday, University Health Services, or UHS, officials discussed changes to the student health insurance plan.
Better known as SHIP, the main change the officials are recommending this year is to the deductible, which is the amount students pay upon seeking care outside of UHS, according to UHS spokesperson Tami Cate. They are considering increasing the price from $300 to $500, which would allow UHS to lower the premium by about 2.5%.
