YSU requires students living on campus to carry health insurance and recommends that all students have insurance coverage.
Students may choose the health insurance described below, may have coverage with their parent's plan, or may purchase health insurance coverage from another provider or carrier. The insurance described below is not for international students. For more information on insurance for international students contact the Center for International Studies and Programs at 330-941-2336. Current YSU students do not need health insurance to use the services at the Student Health Clinic.
Who is eligible to enroll in the insurance plan?
All registered undergraduate YSU students (other than international students) taking nine or more credit hours.
All registered graduate YSU students (other than international students) taking six or more credit hours.
Dependants are eligible for an additional fee.
The Student Health Insurance program changed significantly in 2007.
The changes include better coverage and better value for students.
Highlights are:
Deductible reduced to $100.
The policy is now managed by Aultra Group, based in Canton, OH
The policy uses the OPN Network of providers. You can check to ensure your physicians/hospitals are Preferred Providers at www.opnehealth.com
The policy includes a discounted prescription card (ID card) which will eliminate the need to fill out claims forms for prescriptions.
