Whether or not your university that you attend legally can charge you automatically for health insurance even thoughnyou have private health insurance depends upon what written agreement you have signed on the issue.
If you have signed none, then the university cannot. The answer to your question lies with reviewing all documents you signed for enrolling at the school and asking someone in administration to justify the charge that you have written about.
