United Healthcare Health Insurance Coverage

United Healthcare Health Insurance Coverage

WWAMI students are eligible for Health Care benefits through the UAA Graduate School.  Enrollment is not automatic; students complete and submit the online WWAMI enrollment form  to finalize their enrollment process. 

WWAMI students having prior coverage (spousal, partner, parental, etc.), the University of Alaska Anchorage graduate benefit is an excess policy; it is always secondary and can help towards copays and deductibles. However, if WWAMI students have Medicaid or Tricare (Military Policy), the WWAMI policy is the primary benefit policy and Medicaid and Tricare are secondary benefit policies.

Note: the health insurance plan does NOT have a dental component for teeth cleaning or general maintenance.
