Role of Student Health Insurance Advisory Committee (SHIAC) As
voted in by students and passed by the UC Regents, the University
requires that all eligible students have major medical insurance,
and provides the Berkeley Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) to
meet this requirement. SHIP includes medical, dental and vision
coverage.
The Student Health Insurance Advisory Committee (SHIAC):
Discusses the health of the Berkeley SHIP. Discusses and provides
input to campus on the cost of the premium and plan design changes.
Discusses regulatory and other external issues that may impact the
Berkeley SHIP. Serves as an advisory body to campus administration.
Advises on SHIP communications.
Membership Membership on SHIAC is from the following
organizations: ASUC (2 members), Committee on Student Fees (2
members), Graduate Assembly (3 members) and the Student Health
Advisory Committee (2 members). Ex Officio (non-voting members)
include the Berkeley's student representatives to the UC Student
Health Insurance Forum and staff from University Health
Services.
Responsibilities Attend all SHIAC meetings. Educate your
constituents and gather input from them in a timely manner.
Member Expectations Abide by SHIAC's community agreements (to be
developed at the first meeting). SHIAC members are expected to
actively participate in discussion. In order to support this
members are expected to conduct themselves respectively and in a
manner that allows for others to participate as well.
Recognize that some information shared with you is proprietary
(owned by the health insurance companies or the insurance broker)
and this information is not to be disclosed to others outside of
SHIAC. UHS will clearly let you know when this is the case and will
help you understand the take-away messages from the information
that can be shared with your constituents.
2015-16 Meetings SHIAC meets weekly on Fridays from 1:30-2:30
except during winter break and when there is no new information to
discuss. Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, agendas will be
distributed prior to the meetings and posted on the SHIAC
website.
