Bruin DIRECT & USHIP

<p>HMOs usually do not have a lifetime max. </p>

<p>Each kasier insurance plance varies based on who you obtain the coverage from.</p>

<p>I have kaiser and my lifetime max is unlimited and out of pocket is 2500</p>

<p>so all i need to do is waive the student insurance thing if i have kaiser insurance at the moment?</p>

<p>what do i do about bruin direct?</p>

<p>waive insurance: yes. </p>

<p>bruin direct: sign up.</p>

<p>er, where do i sign up for bruindirect again? is it on the myucla webpage because i lost the packet they sent me...</p>

<p>It's done by mail.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.sfs.finance.ucla.edu/Pdf/bruindirectform.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.sfs.finance.ucla.edu/Pdf/bruindirectform.pdf&lt;/a> for the form that was sent.</p>

<p>I live within 25 miles of UCLA (as well as my doctor's office) but will be living off-campus next year. Do I still have to waive USHIP? I've been trying to log on and waive but the screen is cut off at the bottom so I can't see what the text is. Is anyone else having this problem?</p>

<p>Well, you don't HAVE to waive SHIP but, if you already have health insurance you probably should to save a little money.</p>

<p>It's pointless to pay for ship if you already have insurance that qualifies. Take advantage of it.</p>

<p>is bruin direct the form with just a line at the bottom for you to sign and attach a void check?</p>

<p>how do you find out if "your plan is with a recognized USA Insurance Company that is owned, operated, and headquarted in the USA, and is not a travel insurance policy?" besides calling, that is. can you find it anywhere online or maybe the Ashe Center site? can someone help me out?</p>

<p>What's your insurance company?</p>

<p>bfired2 it's
Alameda Alliance for Health</p>

<p>i checked the locations and it's only in norcal....
so i'm doubting that it's waive-able? since they ask for a with-in-25mile location
i don't know but maybe you can tell me how to check?</p>

<p>Hey so for Facility within 25 miles of UCLA where your plan will provide full care do I put UCLA medical center?</p>

<p>uh..only if its covered by your insurance company</p>

<p>ckings86, do you know why there's such a large difference between the amount you pay for USHIP Basic and USHIP Plus (I had USHIP Plus last year)? USHIP basic is around 558 dollars and PLUS is only 102 a year and it covers dental?</p>

<p>emun, would check w/ UCLA Health for a definite answer.</p>

<p>Never mind, I figured it out. =]</p>
