Health Insurance Waiver

Before Considering A Waiver, Please Be Sure You Have Alternate Coverage The Is Valid In New York State

The best way to verify the coverage (and limitations in coverage) of your insurance plan is to contact your insurance company. In most cases, there will be a contact number on the back of your insurance card. Before waiving out of the Pace insurance plan, we urge all students to take time to check with their insurance company to verify appropriate coverage in New York State. It is important to get specific confirmation, asking about whether the plan covers the following at the same level in NYS as it may in their home state or country:

  • Urgent care
  • Wellness visits
  • Sick visits
  • Prescriptions
  • Mental health care
  • Advanced imaging and diagnostic testing
  • Physical therapy
