<p>War Chant’s suggestion is the best course of action. Here is the waiver criteria and form:
Waiver criteria: [University</a> of Southern California - University Park Health Center](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/Health_Center/ins.waiver.criteria.shtml]University”>http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/Health_Center/ins.waiver.criteria.shtml)
Waiver form: <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/Health_Center/docs/09-10.waiver.form.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/Health_Center/docs/09-10.waiver.form.pdf</a>
If the charge has not been removed from your bill when payment is due, you should either pay that amount or request a deferment until they let you know if your waiver request was successful. Otherwise you will be assessed late charges.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that not everyone will be granted a waiver. We have employer-sponsored health insurance that did not meet one of the USC minimums and so our daughter is required to pay for the student health insurance.</p>
