<p>I wanted to know if I can waive the UCR Health Insurance fee. I have Medi-cal and I live in the Los Angeles County. Thus, if I apply for the waive form, will my Medi-cal be accepted? Has anyone else in my situation successfully waived the form like this?</p>

<p>For your waiver to be accepted, your health insurance plan benefits need to meet or exceed UC SHIP standards. The school doesn’t (not to my knowledge) accept/deny waivers based on who your health insurance is from, but instead, the benefits that you get.

<p>The questions asked on the waiver are (or are similar to):</p>

<p>Name of Insurance Company:
Insurance Company Phone #:
What is the subscriber’s name for this coverage:
Insurance Group #:
Insurance Subscriber ID#:
What is the subscriber’s relationship to you?:</p>

<p>Coverage Information- In parentheses are what your benefits need to meet or exceed (at least to my knowledge)
Is your insurance plan owned, headquartered and operated in the United States? Yes/No (yes)
Does your plan provide primary care services within 50 miles of UCR? Yes/No
(yes)
Does your plan provide emergency care with a 30 mile radius of UCR? Yes/No
(yes)
Does your plan have inpatient and outpatient mental health benefits? Yes/No
(yes)
What is your plan’s deductible per individual each year?
($200)
According to your insurance plan, what is your maximum out-of-pocket expense per individual each year?
($3,000)
What is your plan’s maximum lifetime benefit?
($400,00)</p>

<p>So, if your benefits meet or exceed the UC SHIP benefits, then your waiver will be approved.</p>
