Student Coverage |
Students admitted to a degree program who register for six or more
credits each semester automatically are charged the University's
Student Services Fee. Students who pay the Student Services Fee and
have health insurance (sometimes called hospitalization insurance)
from any provider receive most services at Boynton Health Service at
no additional cost or at reduced cost after the bill has been
processed by their insurance provider.
All charges for services received at Boynton first are billed
directly to students' health insurance plans. Most charges not
covered by the insurance company are covered by the Student Services
Fee. For example, students who pay the Student Services Fee and have
health insurance incur no additional charge for general medical
visits, urgent care visits, annual eye exams, nutrition
appointments, and Women's Clinic visits.
The University of Minnesota requires all students who register for
six or more credits per semester (or three or more credits during
summer term) and are admitted to a degree program to have health
insurance. Students who have health insurance record their insurance
information when they register for classes. Insurance information is
verified by Boynton's Patient Accounting office.
Students admitted to a degree program who lack health insurance may
be eligible for the University-sponsored
Student Health Benefit Plan. If eligible, they automatically
will be enrolled in the Student Health Benefit Plan and charged a
nonrefundable semester or summer term coverage fee. |
