Academic Health Plans - Student Insurance

Student health insurance coverage is recommended for all students and is required for all international students. Academic Health Plans covers 100% of the cost of counseling sessions, medical office visits, and lab work at the Student Health Center. The plan partially covers the cost of medications or durable medical goods, like crutches and wraps, prescribed by the providers at the Student Health Center. It is the student's responsibility to inquire about the cost of medications and goods. The portion not covered will be applied to the student account.
 
When filling a medical prescription at an outside pharmacy, you should present your insurance card when you present the prescription. Co-pays vary for each tier of prescription medication at a retail pharmacy.
