How to Use Your Student Insurance 

Your Student Insurance is a good policy that covers all reasonable and customary expenses related to accidents and illnesses in compliance with the state-mandated medical insurance requirement. When using your insurance it is important to remember some key tips.

• Make sure to print out your insurance card and carry with you at all times.
• Your insurance will pay any doctor that provides a covered service due to an accident or illness. For the listing of participating doctors, please visit the Student Insurance website.
• At most locations, it will be very easy to use your insurance. Some doctors or clinics may not accept your insurance because they are not affiliated with the insurance program. If you are ever unsure of your coverage, you can ask them to call the number on your card to verify your coverage.
