Student Health Insurance

Coverage

 UNF has developed a student health insurance program administered by the Student Health Services/Wellness Center. Participation by students in this program is voluntary; however, the BOT requires foreign students to secure such coverage when not covered by other insurance. Refer to the policy documents in Student Health Services for specific limitations and deductibles. 

Claims Processing 

Report all claims directly to the Student Health/Wellness Center and EH&S. 

Guidelines for Using the Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan 

Call the Student Health Services, 620-2900 when ill. 

A nurse is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The campus physician has clinic on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. 

If you need to see an off-campus physician get a referral from SHS first. 

The insurance deductible must be paid before any claims can be made. 

There is also an additional deductible on prescription drugs. 

There is a co-payment on your insurance. This means that the insurance company pays a percentage of the usual and customary charges and you pay the balance. 

In the event of an emergency when the SHS is closed, call the UPD at “0" or 620-2804. 

Carry your insurance ID on your person at all times. In the event you do not have your ID card, call 1-800-237-0903 for verification.
