Health Services Fee: A health services fee of $323 per semester is mandatory for all full-time undergraduate and graduate students admitted to a Kingston degree program, and is optional for students admitted to a Providence degree program.  All international students are assessed this fee regardless of degree program or credit load.  Part-time, matriculating students who choose to receive their health care at URI Health Services can be assessed this fee upon request, as well as the student accident/sickness insurance fee (which may be waived with proof of comparable coverage).  Students who elect insurance coverage through the University are also required to pay the Health Services fee each semester that they are registered students, regardless of the number of credits they are carrying.  The health fee covers the cost of the following:

• routine office visits with URI staff providers (the full cost of visits if insurance does not cover the cost and/or co-pay expenses in situations where insurance covers a portion)
• ambulance/emergency transport services (by URI EMS),
• pharmacy (most over-the-counter medicines, small co-pay for prescriptions for acute care, medications for chronic conditions at 50 percent of cost)
• administrative services provided at Health Services
• health education.

Accident/Sickness Insurance: It is URI policy that full-time students admitted to a Kingston degree program, as well as all international students and their dependents, have current health insurance to provide coverage for unexpected, extended, and expensive care resulting from accidents and illnesses that are not covered by the Student Health Services fee.  Consequently, all full-time students admitted to a Kingston degree program and all international students and their dependents are required to purchase school health insurance unless evidence of comparable coverage in another plan is provided to the University through a completed waiver form. Waivers are submitted online through e-Campus and instructions can be found at https://www.uri.edu/health/. Questions should be referred to the Health Services Insurance Office at 401.874.4755.

To waive the Accident/Sickness Insurance, a student must complete and electronically submit a waiver each year, prior to the published October deadline. Unless the waiver is received and accepted, the student is responsible for the billed amount. The Accident/Sickness Insurance is optional for non-international, part-time matriculating students, and full-time students admitted to a Providence degree program.   Students who elect insurance coverage through the University are also required to pay the Health Services fee each semester that they are registered students, regardless of the number of credits they are carrying.
