Managing health insurance in NYC as an SVA student can be challenging, but you can save up to $3,000 by waiving the SVA Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) with Simpler Health New York Essential Plan, which meets SVA’s requirements while keeping costs low.
This guide explains the waiver process and highlights why Simpler Health is an ideal choice for both domestic and international students.
What Is the SVA Insurance Waiver?

Include coverage for emergency care, hospitalization, and prescription medication in the U.S.
Offer services in New York, where SVA is located.
Key Deadlines
