Why does Emory have a requirement that the individual annual deductible on my plan must be $2,500 or less or I must have a certified Healthcare Savings Account (HSA)?
Emory has found that students avoid going to the doctor or the emergency room, refuse needed hospitalizations, or won’t allow important tests, x-rays or scans to be done, if their deductible is very high (e.g. $5,000, $10,000). The whole point of the mandatory insurance requirement is to give Emory students insurance coverage that will allow them to get important, needed healthcare so that they can successfully complete their degrees. This waiver criterion helps us to achieve that goal.
