Waiving the student health plan insurance?

I have been pleasantly surprised by my son’s limited experience with Gannett. In my day, I walked down the hill to Ithaca to see a doctor and paid out of pocket.

He ended up needing PT last spring for a previously undiagnosed condition. All was handled well, with only a $10 copay/visit. Our copays are home are $25 for PT and $50 for specialist office visits, so overall, I am less resentful of the $350 health fee than I had been.

To answer your question, I see no reason to purchase SHP unless the incremental cost to cover your student on your own health insurance is greater than the cost of SHP.
