If you do not want the Student Health Insurance Plan, you must decline or opt-out of coverage by submitting a waiver. You may only opt-out of coverage during the following Waiver Periods:
All Students - 10/14/2025 - 01/26/2026
Domestic Students: WAIVER CRITERIA BELOW
All TTU Health Sciences Center El Paso students are required to maintain insurance coverage and must be enrolled in the Plan, unless comparable coverage is submitted online at ttuhscep.myahpcare.com/waiver each semester.
The University has established the below requirements for students who request to waive the student health insurance plan due to alternate health insurance.
Alternate Health Insurance Requirements:
To obtain an approved waiver request, your alternate health coverage must meet or exceed the requirements as set forth below and AHP must receive the waiver request by the waiver deadline listed for your school (see specific deadlines above).
Please note-- travel plans, short term plans, limited benefit/indemnity plans, healthcare sharing plans, or any plans that require you to pay for treatment yourself and then apply for reimbursement do NOT meet Texas Tech University HSC El Paso’s alternate health insurance requirements. Requests to waive with these plans will be denied.
