What can you do besides wait?
Powerpoint from the presentation on March 6, 2009.Health Insurance Information
For those students that obtained health insurance through Duke, we have learned that graduates are covered under their existing policy through July 31, 2009. If insurance is needed thereafter, graduates can enroll in the "continuation" plan for up to 6 additional months. The cost is 1 1/2 times the currently monthly rate; details are at https://www.uhcsr.com/Public/EnrollmentCards/2008_928_1_ContinuationEnrollment_v1.pdfThis continuation program would provide coverage through January 31, 2010; after that, students should consider purchasing insurance from a company such as Blue Cross or other provider. For other information or to discuss questions, feel free to contact: Jean H. Hanson, RN, MPH Director of Administrative Services Duke Student Health jean.hanson@duke.edu Phone: 919-681-3070
Numerous graduating third year law students who are either currently unemployed or on deferred employment have inquired about the availability of health insurance from the ABA Law Student Division. For many of these law student graduates, their current health insurance will expire this summer and without employer health insurance, they will be uninsured for an indefinite period of time. The ABA Law Student Division health insurance plan with UnitedHealthcare Student Resources (UHCSR) offers a health insurance coverage extension for up to one year from the student’s graduation date PROVIDED the student is currently carrying this plan AND there is no break (lapse) in coverage between the date of graduation and the first day of this one-year extension. Graduating law students who are not currently carrying this health insurance coverage with the ABA Law Student Division UHCSR plan may still qualify for the graduate extension by purchasing the last quarter of the health plan before graduating. Enrollment in the plan prior to graduation is an ABSOLUTE requirement of the carrier. Students may view the health plan benefits at https://www.uhcsr.com/ABA
For more information regarding this benefit and a pro-rated premium amount that will provide coverage for 12 months from the date of graduation, students may call UHCSR at 1-800-505-5450.
