Insurance

UH Hilo > Business Office > Easy Reference Guides

For ALL purchases of insurance, a purchase order will be issued by OPRPM after review and approval by the Risk Management Office.

Depending on the type of insurance, each situation may differ. The following documents should be submitted to the Business Office along with any other supports pertaining to the purchase:

  • Requisition made out insurance company,
  • completed application, and
  • policy terms and details.

The Business Office will forward this packet to the Risk Management Office for review.  If approved, Risk Management will forward the packet to OPRPM to issue the purchase order.

We are prohibited from using public funds for private purposes.

If the intent is to cover students, then the students must pay for their own insurance.  For example, the Nursing department at UH Manoa collects the premiums from the students and then purchases the liability policy to cover the students.
