Are you automatically enrolled in the UC Student Health Insurance Plan?
All registered UC students—including domestic, international, and in absentia students—are automatically enrolled in UC SHIP.

What is coinsurance health plan?
Coinsurance is the percentage you pay for a covered service after hitting your deductible—like 20% of a $100 bill.
Say your plan covers $100 for an office visit and your coinsurance is 20%. You’d pay $20, and the insurer covers the remaining $80. Coinsurance usually kicks in after deductibles and comes with an out-of-pocket maximum.

How do I opt out of UCLA health insurance?
Submit an online waiver request during the designated open waiver period and meet the posted deadline.
Approved waivers stay in effect for the whole academic year. You must reapply each year—waivers don’t carry over automatically. Late requests get rejected.
Which is better copay or coinsurance?
A plan with copays is usually better because it uses fixed dollar amounts (like $25 per visit) instead of percentages.
Copays are predictable and often cheaper than the percentage you’d pay under coinsurance. That said, plans with coinsurance might have lower monthly premiums—compare total costs based on how you expect to use care.
How do I meet my deductible?
Meet your deductible by scheduling covered services early, filling prescriptions, or seeing providers before year-end.
For example, order a 90-day prescription refill or visit an in-network specialist. Deductibles reset each plan year, so timing services strategically can help you make the most of your benefits.
What is a good deductible for health insurance?
A good deductible for a 2026 health insurance plan meets IRS guidelines: at least $1,400 for an individual or $2,800 for a family.
Those are the minimum deductibles for a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). Higher deductibles usually mean lower monthly premiums, but make sure you can afford out-of-pocket costs if you need medical care.
What is a cost coverage?
Cost coverage refers to how an insurance policy pays for losses—like replacement cost coverage, which reimburses the full value to replace damaged property.
That’s different from actual cash value coverage, which accounts for depreciation. Always review your policy to understand how claims are calculated.

Staying in-network saves you money. You’ll pay less when using providers within the PPO network, even with referrals.
