Rush University Policy requires all students to have quality health insurance.

Enrollment in the plan for all Medical College, College of Health Sciences, College of Nursing, and Division of Translational Sciences students is required unless the student provides proof of coverage under a comparable plan. Students in these four colleges may enroll online at rush.myahpcare.com. The Premium will be charged to your tuition bill. If you have comparable coverage through another Insurance Carrier, you can show proof of comparable coverage and attach a copy of your health insurance ID card online at rush.myahpcare.com.

Students must attend classes for 31 days and must meet the Institution's requirements for maintaining their status as an eligible Student. Students must maintain their Institution's eligibility in order to maintain coverage under this policy.

Eligible students can enroll in three months of Continuation Coverage starting 05/01/26 but must be enrolled in the prior semester coverage period a minimum of 3 months before coverage terminated under the Prior and/or Current Plan. The premium must be received prior to the existing coverage under the Rush University Student Health Insurance Plan terminates. In no event will the Covered Person be eligible for Continuation of Coverage if premium is received after the termination date of the Policy. There is no renewable option, and no refunds are available after you have selected the coverage. Premium will be paid directly to AHP.
