I’m not sure if I qualify for the Health and Dental Insurance Plan.

The easiest way to check your enrollment status is through your BearTracks account. If you have been charged the Health and Dental insurance fee and did not opt out, you are automatically enrolled in the plan.

I want to use the benefits plan. What do I do?

To access your benefits, you’ll need to register using the StudyWell™ app, available on the App Store and Google Play.

During registration, please ensure you:

  • Enter your name and student ID number exactly as provided to the University.
  • Input your contact information, which will be used for future communication and claims payments.

Once registered, you can download your benefits card directly from the app and keep it saved on your device for future use.

How can I submit a claim?

You can submit claims directly through the StudyWell™ mobile app. Alternatively, you can share your benefits card with your service provider, and they may be able to submit the claim on your behalf where appropriate.

To access your benefits card and submit a claim:

  1. Open the StudyWell™ mobile app and log in.
  2. Tap My Profile (bottom right corner).
  3. Tap My Benefit Cards.
  4. Your benefits card will appear with all the information needed to submit claims.
What is covered under the plan?

The most detailed and up-to-date information about what’s covered is available on our website. It can be viewed here.

You can also use the mobile app to see:

  • How you’ve used your benefits so far.
  • Your remaining balance across various coverage categories.
