Students who do not wish to enroll in the Tulane-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan must demonstrate that they are enrolled in a health insurance plan that meets or exceeds University standards for adequate insurance. Tulane University has contracted with Gallagher Student Health and Special Risk to provide insurance verification services. Students will submit a waiver request through the Gallagher online portal. Once a waiver request is approved, the student can opt out of T-SHIP. Follow the steps below and view our handy health insurance action flowchart.
Tulane strongly suggests that a student and/or their parents review the University’s standards for adequate insurance. The insurance verification process takes time, so reviewing the standards and beginning the health insurance action process early will ensure that compliance is reached before the deadline.

You should receive a message in your Tulane email within 72 hours. This email will contain the status of your waiver request, either APPROVED, PENDING, or DENIED.
If your request was approved, the University has verified that your insurance meets the standards, and you have successfully completed the process. Please note that you will have to repeat this process each academic year that you attend Tulane.
If your request is pending, you may need to upload additional supporting documents for your request to be approved. Log back in to the Gallagher portal to find out what information is needed.
If your request is denied, Gallagher has determined that your insurance does not meet the standards.
If your waiver request was denied, but you do not want to enroll in T-SHIP, you have the following options.
Once you have performed one of these two actions, you must repeat the waiver request process and verify that your new request has been approved.
If you need help navigating the waiver request process, the following resources are available to you.
