Health Insurance
Eligibility
All graduate students are eligible for the optional WWU Student Medical Health Insurance plan. Teaching Assistants can have the plan premium paid by the Graduate School each quarter of service as a TA.
Apply for Coverage
Please note: the Enrollment process for TAs and eligible RAs has changed starting Winter Quarter 2021.
Graduate TAs and RAs should apply online for coverage via the AHP enrollment page. You will not be required to provide payment information.
Once your enrollment request is submitted, AHP will contact the Graduate School to verify your assistantship status for the specified quarter.
If you need to enroll dependents, you may do so through this same process, but dependent insurance premiums are not covered by the Graduate School and you will be billed by AHP for those costs.
2020-2021 Plan Details
The WWU Student Health plan is provided by Aetna through Academic Health Plans (AHP).
All plan information can be found at https://wwu.myahpcare.com/.
If you have questions about your coverage status, policy details or any pending claims, please contact AHP directly
Common Questions
How long am I eligible for coverage?

Where do I get an insurance card or file a claim?
These services are available to you at https://wwu.myahpcare.com/ once your enrollment form has been processed (please allow 7-10 working days after submission.)
