That's how many eligible students were actually enrolled at one school. The rest waived. Nobody checked whether their coverage would work when they needed it.

What Happens Next
One unverified waiver. Here's how it ends.
When a student with inadequate coverage gets sick or injured, the failure is not abstract. It follows a predictable path.
The waiver gets approved
The student submits a policy number. Nobody checks whether the plan is ACA-compliant, in-network, or active. The waiver is stamped approved.
The student gets sick
Six weeks into the semester. Appendicitis. ER visit. The student uses their insurance card. The claim comes back denied: out-of-network provider, out-of-state HMO.
The bill arrives
The hospital bills the student directly. $38,000. The student has no savings. A payment plan is offered. The student starts missing classes.
The student considers leaving
With a payment plan and a falling GPA, the student starts weighing their options. This is where financial hardship becomes an enrollment risk — and nobody has connected it back to the waiver.
The Problem
What happens when waivers go unaudited.
Most waiver systems are built to approve, not to verify.
Without Volta
Out-of-state Medicaid detected. HMO does not cover out-of-state services. Waiver flagged for review.
Coverage verified. Plan is ACA-compliant. Waiver approved automatically.

We had no idea how many of our waivers were from students on out-of-state Medicaid until Volta showed us. It was almost 200 students who thought they were covered.

Built for every stakeholder
Everyone needs this to work. It usually does not.
You carry the liability. You should have the data.
When a student with a denied claim shows up in your office, it's not an insurance problem — it becomes a health center problem. Volta gives you visibility before the semester starts, not after the ER visit.
