Internship
As long as you are doing an internship for CREDIT, you are required to have the medical benefit. The reason for this is because, when you are doing an internship to earn university credits, the university is responsible for you. Please come to the office to fill out the needed enrollment forms.
Maternity Benefit
You may be eligible for maternity coverage ONLY IF you are already enrolled in the student medical benefit before maternity commences.
Dental
The student medical benefit is ONLY for medical, no dental. However, there is a very affordable dental plan offered by the Hawaii Family Dental Centers. It is called the HO'ALA dental program, which is a university student dental plan. Ask for a brochure or information on this plan when you come to the office.
