The Student Health Insurance Plan through BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina is
considered a Gold Plan in the insurance marketplace. A comparable plan purchased somewhere
else would cost more than $350 per month, while the Student Health Plan is just over
$200 per month. You can sign up for the Student Health Insurance Plan during the
year if you have a qualifying life event that causes you to lose your health insurance.
- Disqualification from parents' health plan due to age.
- Losing private insurance through loss of employment or divorce.
For qualifying events, please contact AHP directly at sc.myahpcare.com or 1-855-844-3015.
You can enroll spouses, domestic partners and dependent children in your plan. You
will be charged for their coverage separately, and not through your student account.
If proof of insurance is required as a condition of your enrollment, you can request
additional funds for your health insurance premium amount. Contact the Office of Student
Financial Aid and Scholarships at 803-777-8134.

Insurance Plan.

Insurance Plan.
