Supporting Student Wellness Together: Why We Ask for Student Health Insurance Information
As part of the current registration and residency verification process, San Marcos Unified families will be asked to provide their student's health insurance information. Providing this information is optional.
This information helps SMUSD participate in the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative, also known as CYBHI. This statewide program allows school districts to seek reimbursement for eligible mental health and wellness services that are already being provided to students at school.
These services may include counseling, social-emotional learning, brief student check-ins, crisis response, conflict resolution, care coordination, and other school-based wellness supports.
There is no cost to families. Providing insurance information does not impact copays, deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, or plan limits. Students will continue to receive the same school-based support services, and students without insurance will still receive the support they need.
By providing this information, families help the district seek reimbursement when available, which helps sustain important student wellness services across SMUSD.
