If Your Waiver Application is Denied

SHCS Service Announcement

Due to scheduled union action on 
Tuesday, April 1st, 
there may be a reduction in services at SHCS. 

We are taking necessary precautions to assure your visit to SHCS during that timeframe goes smoothly. 

Anytime, including when SHCS has reduced services, students can call the following resources: 

Medical:  

Medical Advice Nurse at 530-752-2349 

Counseling:  

Counseling Services 24 Hour Consultation Line: 530-752-0871  or

Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: at 988

Additional support is available:  LiveHealth Online for SHIP students (virtual medical and mental health care) and UWill (virtual mental health care).

Accidents happen. If your waiver is denied based on the answers you submitted on your application, and you believe you made a mistake, you can log back into the online waiver site and correct your answer(s). 

If your waiver was denied, and you do not know why, then it is recommended that you submit an appeal form to the Insurance Services office, along with all of the required documentation.

Please complete and submit an Appeal of Waiver Denial form to the Insurance Services office via any of the below methods:

  • Email: waiver@shcs.ucdavis.edu
  • Fax: 1.530.752.7679 

Your application will be reviewed within 10 business days of the receipt of your completed appeal form and all required documentation.

If you did not upload a copy of your insurance ID card and a copy of your insurance plans benefits summary, you will be required to provide this information to the Insurance Services office before your appeal can be processed.

If your waiver appeal is approved, you will receive a confirmation email from the Insurance Services office to your UC Davis email address, and the waiver will be posted to your student account within 3 business days.

If your waiver appeal is denied, you will receive an email from the Insurance Services office to your UC Davis email address, detailing the reason(s) why your waiver was denied.
