Services Covered by the Medical Insurance |
All students are encouraged to have medical insurance coverage. The pre-paid Student Health Fee pays for most services delivered at the Student Health Center only. If a student requires referral to an outside health care facility, is in need of emergency care or hospitalization, a medical insurance plan would assist with payment of these potentially expensive services. The Student Health Center can assist students with processing claims to insurance companies when the service was provided by Student Health. The student just needs to tell the cashier (in Student Health) they would like us to process a claim. The student will need to sign a form allowing us to release information about the visit to their insurance carrier. |
University Sponsored Insurance |
Domestic and International StudentsThe University of Missouri has made available to its students and their dependents, a plan of blanket accident and sickness insurance, underwritten by Aetna Life Insurance Company. The coverage is designed to provide benefits for medical expenses arising from an injury or sickness including those that occur off campus and during interim vacations.
