What is covered with the UC SHIP?

Health Insurance is mandatory for all UCLA registered students and a condition of enrollment. The UC Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP) is a health care program for UCLA students. UC SHIP is a comprehensive major medical insurance plan, providing medical, prescription, counseling, vision and dental services.

Students with UC SHIP are expected to seek all non-emergency care at the Ashe Center and they can be referred as needed to other network providers. An Ashe referral is required for all non-emergent treatment. For all counseling and psychological services, students must start their care at CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services). A referral must be administered by a CAPS provider for additional behavioral health treatment and services outside of CAPS.

Mobile App

UC SHIP has gone mobile and will no longer deliver health insurance cards. Download the mobile app on your smartphone device through your device’s app store or visit www.mobilehealthconsumer.com to view an electronic copy of your ID card. When registering, you will need your first and last name, your student ID number and your birthday. However, once your plan is active you can use the Ashe Center by presenting your Bruin ID at the time of your appointment.

Can I waive UC SHIP if I already have another insurance plan?

In order to waive UC SHIP, you must be enrolled in a private health insurance plan that meets specific requirements. Please look to the Ashe Center waiver page for more information.

If you are not sure whether or not your private insurance plan meets the waiver criteria, please contact the Student Health Insurance Office at ucshipwaivers@ashe.ucla.edu PRIOR to the waiver deadline.

NOTE: The Ashe Center has a 24-hour after hours service that provides students a chance to speak with a registered nurse for non-emergency situations. The 24/7 Nurse Line can be accessed after the Ashe Center is closed by calling the main line at 310-825-4073.
