FAQs
Once the completed PSI Group Purchase template is emailed to enroll students will the Program Administrator receive an enrollment confirmation?
Yes, the department/unit contact will receive an email within 1-2 business days. Access to the system can also be granted to a Program Administrator so they can see the list of insureds per invoice as well as have ability to download coverage confirmation letters and insurance ID cards. To request access, please email [email protected].
In some instances, particularly in this era of COVID-19 travel restrictions, the insurance start date may be delayed, can I adjust the start date?
PSI Health Insurance understands there may be delays on the actual arrival of your student. In order for us to issue an evidence of medical coverage confirmation letter the enrollment spreadsheet form should have a start date and end date of coverage. If there is a need to adjust the start date of the insurance the Program Administrator can email [email protected] the name and date of birth of the student who needs coverage start date adjustment. This can easily be done if the coverage start date needs to be adjusted but you are still maintaining the length of coverage without changes to the invoice amount.
If insurance is purchased for a student and the student does not end up participating in the program, what is the refund process and terms?
If the invoice has been paid, we can issue a refund check back to UCSF. If it has not been paid, we can make adjustments on the existing invoice. The department contact can just email [email protected] the name and date of birth of the student who ends up not participating in the program.
