<prompt> Human: Hey all,Im a grad student using Vocational Rehabilitation to pay the tuition and provide a living stipend. I am otherwise unemployed. I also have had full health coverage from the VA due to my disabilities received during my service, and have not needed health insurance from any other carrier.My university is charging me 1585 for health insurance for the spring semester, despite my ability to prove that I am and have been covered, and despite the fact that I have never been seen by any doctor through their insurance. My VocRehab counselor has taken care of all other administrative details regarding my enrollment, but apparently the VA will not pay for university health insurance. I have addressed this with both my counselor as well as the Schools insurance department, who claim I was sent emails telling me to opt out.My biggest issue, besides the 1585 charge, is how an organization gets away with charging for something I never explicitly signed up for, nor would ever use. All other correspondence from me to the school results in them hiding behind whatever emails they claimed to send. They will not even let me register for next semester without paying the money in full!I appreciated any advice this forum can give, as I plain dont have 1585 to give. Thanks for the help everyone!  <response>: Typically you do have to opt out of a schools insurance and provide proof of other insurance when you do. That bit is normal.Since you had no claims and can demonstrate that you had adequate alternative coverage, your school should do the right thing and let you off the hook, but they most likely are under no obligation to do so.
