For Pre Doctoral Fellows
Pre-doctoral fellows* may be covered under the Mandatory Health Insurance Plan through UnitedHealthcare StudentResources. If you meet eligibility requirements, your funding source/department pays the cost directly to your bursar account as a scholarship award.
If you see a health insurance charge on your account and believe it should be covered:
- Do not pay the charge.
- Contact your department to confirm they will cover it and arrange payment via scholarship.
- Submit a Petition for Increased Cost of Attendance (COA) to UF Student Financial Aid so the insurance cost is included in your aid calculation.
*Note: Graduate assistants on GatorGradCare who are terminating their GA appointment and moving to a pre-doc fellowship should contact the GA Benefits Office regarding their insurance options. Please email gabenefits@hr.ufl.edu or call (352) 392-0003 for assistance.
For Post Doctoral Fellows
Post Doctoral Fellows are eligible to purchase the UF Sponsored Health Insurance Plan, however, enrollment is not automatic. Additional fees may apply to use medical and/or mental health services on campus.
If you would like to enroll individually, please visit: https://www.uhcsr.com/uf
For Departments Needing to Finalize Scholarship Awards
If you need fellows enrolled before the scholarship award is finalized, email their names to healthcompliance@shcc.ufl.edu.
We will expedite their insurance coverage and post the charge to the bursar account. The charge can be paid after the due date with no late fee.
