<p>Yesterday I received an email that our new bursar bill was ready for viewing. I was confused as the last one was due on Friday and paid in full.
I looked at the bill and it was for health insurance, about $1400. I am positive that we opted out of Cornell's health insurance plan as my husband works in the medical field and, thankfully, we have wonderful insurance.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how or why this would be billed?</p>
<p>Thanks for all of the help and advice, this s/b my last question :)</p>
<p>The same thing happened to me last year. I didn't pay, and eventually received confirmation that my opting out had been accepted. I would call tomorrow to make sure, though.</p>
<p>When your opt out is approved, the bill will be removed. Just ignore it for now.</p>
<p>If your waiver wasn't approved by a certain date (August 7 sounds right) you will see a charge and a credit when you are approved. If your waiver was accepted before then, you see no charge at all.</p>
<p>Thanks so much! I pulled out the Cornell Bound book and on page 9 it does explain that you must submit an online waiver. I don't think that we did that; I think that when I saw the insurance page I skipped over it bcs we wouldn't use it.</p>
<p>All of you were correct that you automatically get billed if you didn't submit the waiver. The deadline to submit it is August 31 at Welcome</a> to the Cornell University Student Health Insurance Office.</p>
<p>There is so much information to send/recieve involving mail, email and online that it gets confusing. My son is an athlete so there are a whole other set of information to be sent/submitted.
The intial bursar bill was a tricky one to find, but know it looks like they are sending an alert to my email which will help :)</p>
<p>Thanks again</p>
