If you are currently insured by another health plan, please take the time to compare your benefits and cost to the 2021/2022 NYMC student health insurance plan. The NYMC 2022/2023 health plan offers very comprehensive benefits and the cost for the group coverage may be lower than your current plan. Remember, once you waive you will need an involuntary loss of coverage to enroll in the student health plan after the annual open enrollment period has ended. If you find that the NYMC plan better meets your medical and financial needs than your current plan, voluntary termination does not make you eligible for enrollment after the annual enrollment period has ended. Enrollment in the NYMC student insurance plan is on a semester basis. The Spring Semester open enrollment/waiver period will begin on December 1, 2022 until December 22, 2022 for the Spring Semester effective date of 01/01/2023.
