Graduate assistant health insurance waiver
As a Graduate Assistant (GA), you will automatically be enrolled in the MSU Graduate Assistant Health Insurance Plan and the insurance premium will be paid by MSU. If you would like to waive coverage, you must demonstrate you have comparable coverage.
There is no reimbursement for waiving the GA health insurance plan.
Access the waiver system through Academic HealthPlans (AHP) website. (microsite coming soon!)
