Health Insurance
Students, whether they have health insurance or not, are eligible to use ASU Health Services. However, we strongly advise every student to maintain adequate health insurance to cover unexpected medical expenses.
Insurance Plan Information
In cooperation with Arizona Board of Regents and ASU Health Services, ASU offers an affordable top-tiered medical insurance policy to students. This insurance provides access to the health and counseling services at any ASU Health Service location. The insurance plan is designed to provide group coverage to students that are currently uninsured, need a less expensive alternative or need an Arizona provider network. Students on the United Healthcare Student Resources are still required to receive their primary care through ASU Health Services and are required to obtain a referral to an off-campus provider. Each year the plan is negotiated by a Tri-University leadership group with input provided by student advisory committees. The plan is inclusive for all students with attention on the unique needs of the student body in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, and is non-binary and transgender inclusive. The Health Insurance office is located in the Health Services building, at the Tempe campus and can be reached at 480-965-2411 or insurance@asu.edu to answer questions about this policy.
Additional information on United Healthcare Student Resources can be found below or at www.uhcsr.com/asu.
