Student Health Insurance Plan for 2009-2010
New student health plan through Aetna Student Health!
We are excited to announce a new health insurance plan for University of St. Thomas students beginning fall 2009. The University of St. Thomas has partnered with Aetna Student Health to provide students with an affordable, quality health insurance plan option.
The Student Health Insurance plan will cost $429 per semester. For students who already have coverage under their parents’ or another plan, we encourage you to review your plan to determine if you have comparative health coverage while at UST. Below are questions for you to consider regarding your current policy:
ü Does the policy cover non-emergency care away from your home area?
ü Does your plan offer a national prescription drug card?
ü Can you visit any provider without a referral?
ü Does it have continuation coverage after graduation?
ü Will it cover you while studying abroad?
Highlights of the 2009-2010 plan through Aetna Student Health include:
· $1,000,000 coverage
· No Deductible
· Maximum $5,000 out-of-pocket expense
· 5 visits per year covered at 100% for care received at the UST Student Health Service
