Medical Insurance

All students are encouraged to have medical insurance coverage. The pre-paid Student Health Fee pays for professional consultation with only Center providers. If a student requires referral to an outside health care facility, needs emergency care or hospitalization, a medical insurance plan would assist with payment of these potentially expensive services.

The Health Center will file insurance claims for any carrier except Medicaid/Medicare. We are a participating provider with the University-sponsored program, Aetna Student Health. All other carriers consider the Health Center out of network and may limit or prohibit payment.

It is the student's responsiblity to contact the insurance carrier concerning coverage of medical care while away from home.

The health fee is available for spouses.

Please call (573) 882-9107 for more information.

Dependent children are not eligible to use the Health Center.
