It is important for students to contact the Benefits Plan Office should they have outstanding health expenses that occurred prior to obtaining MSI coverage. Opting out may result in those expenses not being covered by either program.
  • It is the student's responsibility to renew their MSI card and submit a new copy of the card to the Benefits Plan Office. Students whose MSI coverage is not renewed or who fail to update the Benefits Plan Office with their new MSI card will be re-enrolled in the International Medical Plan Plan and the fees will be added to your student account.
  • NO EXCEPTIONS will be made if a renewed MSI card is not received on time. It is the student's responsibility to pay the plan's mandatory fees, should they not submit the MSI card to the Benefits Plan Office.
  • Once you complete the International Medical Plan opt-out form, you will receive an automated email confirmation. Please keep this email for your records as it is your only proof of submitting an opt-out request.
  • Submitting this form does not confirm that you have successfully opted out. Your opt-out is pending until the Benefits Plan Office receives confirmation from the insurer that your coverage has been cancelled.
