Health Insurance Coverage
As a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow, you are required to enroll in either ORAU's plan or to certify that you have coverage with another carrier.
Enrolling in a Health Plan Other Than ORAU's
You must provide the"Certification of Health Insurance" for the policy that will be used. Please provide the name, address, and contract number of the insurance under which you will be covered. To certify, you must:
- complete the section labeled "Certification of Health Insurance" at the end of the Terms of Appointment document; and
- provide either a copy of your health insurance card, or a copy of the front page of your policy which indicates the name of the insured and the effective date of the policy.
Enrolling in ORAU's Health Insurance Plan
An application form for the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBST) medical and prescription drug policy through ORAU is included in the award package. If you wish to enroll in BCBST, you must complete the application form and include the date the coverage should become effective. Please note that dental and vision coverage are not included in your ORAU health insurance plan.
