Monitor your MIX email account for updates.
ANNNOUNCEMENTS
- NEW for Fall 2025: WVU has partnered with Academic HealthPlans (AHP) to administer the WVU Aetna student health insurance plan and the opt-out waiver process. Beginning June 2025, students will view the WVU Aetna student health insurance plan details and complete the opt-out waiver on AHP's comprehensive Care26 platform. Students will be receiving emails via their MIX accounts from AHP (noreply@ahpcare.com).
- The student insurance fee is now based on the number of days in the coverage period, which results in differing premiums for the fall and spring/summer coverage periods. The fall 2025 health insurance premium will be $1,196, and the spring/summer 2025 premium will be $1,854 based on the number of days in each coverage period.
- Students can schedule telemedicine appointments through WVU Medicine MyChart, or by reaching out to the Student Health Call Center at 304-285-7200.
