​​​​Health Insurance Plan (HIP) 

The Health Insurance Plan (HIP) provides medical and hospital coverage to the AUB community, namely academic and non-academic staff, retirees, students, and IC staff and their families.

• Second-class health care coverage is mandatory for all students during their years of study at AUB. Therefore, a new or continuing student registered for at least 6 credit hours is automatically enrolled under the Health Insurance Plan (HIP). However, a student may be exempted from enrolling in HIP if s/he presents proof that s/he is covered by another healthcare insurance provider.
  

• HIP members are required to exclusively use the medical services of the AUB Medical Center (AUBMC). HIP coverage of students is limited to medical care inside Lebanon only.
  

• A ‘student’ is defined as a person registered for a course of study at the university, whether working or not working towards a degree, on a full-time or part-time basis. Auditors are not considered students.
  

• PhD students - while registered - are eligible for HIP until they achieve their degree.
  

• Graduate students registered for a thesis are eligible to continue HIP coverage for a period of two consecutive years only.
  

• Students who register at the beginning of the first term are covered by HIP for twelve months, provided they do not graduate, withdraw, or become suspended and/or dropped from the university. HIP fee charges per term are announced each year by the AUB Benefits office.
  

• Students who register at the beginning of the second term are covered until September 30 of the same year, provided they do not graduate, withdraw, or are not suspended and/or dropped from the university.
  

• Students who register at the beginning of the summer session are covered until September 30 of the same year. Student coverage during the summer is strictly limited to use of the AUB Medical Center (AUBMC) services.
  

• In case of emergency during the fall and spring terms only, if students are not on campus or within the vicinity of the AUB Medical Center, students can report to the nearest medical service provider and get the needed care. Reimbursement of the bill cannot exceed 80 percent of AUBMC rates.
  

• Eligible married students may enroll their spouse and children, who are living with them in Lebanon, at the regular second-class rate as long as they remain duly registered at the university and are HIP members.
  

• Unlike other HIP members, students are not charged co-payment or cost sharing applied by the plan to outpatient services.
  

• A student will be covered by HIP from the beginning of a specific term provided he/she registers and pays his/her fees. Coverage is up to 48 hours after graduation or leaving the University (due to withdrawal, or being dropped from the University).
  

These guidelines are meant to be a mere summary of provisions of the plan and are provided solely as a matter of convenience; they in no way define or limit the scope or intent of any provision of the plan.​​
