<p>I tried reading the requirements for the health insurance waiver, but I couldn't understand them. </p>
<p>Are the waiver form and a copy of my health insurance card enough to fulfill the requirements of the waiver?</p>
<p>No, the form and your card are not sufficient. You need a copy of your policy showing the details of your coverage. Look at the list in Section B on the Waiver Form. It clearly lists the requirements - things like a minimum of $500,000 lifetime coverage, no major exclusions, a deductible of $2500 or less, and a minimum of 70% coinsurance to providers in L.A. Your parents may have a copy of their policy or be able to get it from their employer. I was able to find the details of our Blue Cross policy online.</p>
<p>^That’s all I’ve ever sent in (the application and a copy of my card, front and back) and I’ve never had a problem.</p>
<p>We only submitted the waiver form and the info on the card and all was processed successfully.</p>
<p>But, being the worry-wart I am, I independently verified the coverage in LA (at least 70%) and other minimum/maximum requirements.</p>
<p>Incoming freshman here from N.California. We are on Kaiser, and simply had to call Kaiser and switch to inter-regional coverage. We filled out the form, and faxed it – credit was posted very quickly on Oasis. I think the Health Office is pretty familiar with most major policies, and so it appears to be pretty painless (ouch) – I think the trouble begins with international health policies, and the smaller insurance companies.</p>
<p>I have Kaiser, too, and I’ve lived in SoCal ever since I was born (well, except for a few months last year). I turned in the waiver form and proof to the Health Office and I believe they approved it. Thank you everyone for all your help!</p>
<p>So is it safe to assume that just the waiver form and a copy of the front and back of the health insurance card were sufficient?</p>
<p>^^^It was for us.</p>
