NYU 2026-2027 Student Health Insurance Waiver Guide
A step-by-step guide to submitting a waiver through the NYU Aetna Student Health portal.
Important: This guide is based on the NYU / Aetna Student Health 2026-2027 waiver entry page. The page and requirements may change. If there is any discrepancy, follow the current instructions shown by NYU and Aetna Student Health.
Step 1 - Enter the NYU waiver portal
- Open the NYU Aetna Student Health page.
- Find the section titled Waive your student health coverage.
- Click Waive coverage.
The form asks you to confirm that your current plan meets NYU's minimum waiver standards. The screenshot shows Yes selected for the first three items; answer every item based on your actual policy.
Step 2 - Add your insurance policy details
Complete the insurance company and policy fields using your insurance card and your Confirmation of Coverage document.
Redbridge example: use the insurance card and Confirmation of Coverage when completing the policy fields.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Insurance Company Name | Select Other, then enter Redbridge. |
| Type of Insurance Plan | Select PPO. |
| Insurance Plan Name | Enter the Plan Name shown on your Confirmation of Coverage. |
| Policy Number | Enter the Policy Number / Policy # shown on your Confirmation. |
| Insurance Company Address | Use the official Redbridge address shown on your insurance documents. The example screenshot shows 2850 Douglas Rd, Suite 400. |
| City | Coral Gables |
| State | Florida / FL |
| ZIP | 33134 |
Step 3 - Add policy-holder information and accept the terms
Complete the policy-holder fields, select the deductible that matches your policy, and review the Terms and Conditions before continuing.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Country (if international) | Select United States. |
| Insurance Company Phone Number | 800-791-4531 in the Redbridge example. |
| Policy Holder First Name | Enter the student's first name. |
| Policy Holder Last Name | Enter the student's last name. |
| Policy Holder ID Number | Enter the Member ID / Insurance ID. |
| Subscriber Birth Date | Enter the student's date of birth in MM/DD/YYYY format. |

Terms and Conditions
Read the Terms and Conditions, check the agreement box, and then continue with the submission.
After you submit
- Save a screenshot of the confirmation page or save the confirmation email.
- If the system requests additional documents, return to the NYU / Aetna system and check the request promptly.
- Try to submit at least 3-5 days before the deadline so there is time to provide additional materials.
Plan-specific example: The Redbridge values shown in the screenshots are examples for that policy. Do not copy them unless they match your own insurance card and Confirmation of Coverage.
