Health Insurance

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.

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

How long am I eligible for coverage?

Graduate TAs in salaried positions of at least 0.25 FTE shall receive 100% premium coverage for the University-sponsored student health insurance plan during the term of their appointment if they elect coverage. TAs may, at their election and expense, ensure dependents and obtain additional insurance offerings subject to the terms of the insurance plans.
Summer Quarter: A TA eligible for the University-sponsored health insurance plan for Fall, Winter and Spring of the academic year who has a reappointment in the following academic year will receive the same premium coverage for the Summer Quarter.

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.)
