Commercial Health Plans
Already have health insurance? Campus Health is a participating provider to most United Healthcare, Aetna, BlueCross/BlueShield, Cigna, and Health Net plans for primary care services. Please check directly with your insurance carrier if Campus Health is a participating provider under your plan (Tax ID 74-2652689).

What are the available student health care options?

CampusCare
This health care option serves as an ideal bridge for students covered by any type of health plan where one may have a high deductible, limited benefits, or no coverage for charges incurred at Campus Health. CampusCare is not an insurance policy. CampusCare covers most expenses after a designated office visit fee for services provided exclusively at Campus Health.

Student Health Insurance Plan
This is a top-tier medical policy with nationwide coverage and an emergency benefit worldwide. Under this plan, Campus Health serves as the Primary Care Provider. Students have direct access to Emergency Rooms, participating Urgent Care facilities, an Annual Routine Eye Exam, and OB/GYN services, including preventative and routine services received from in-network providers.

Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment for the Student Health Insurance and CampusCare is generally open two months prior to the start of the semester or upon class registration. In compliance with the UA email policy, all open enrollment notices and information regarding the health care options are sent to the student's official UA email address.

Enrolling for Insurance AFTER an Open Enrollment Has Closed
The Student Health Insurance can only be added, canceled, or changed during the published open enrollment. However, there are certain qualifying life events that will allow one to come onto the plan outside the open enrollment, providing arrangements are made within 30 days of the qualifying event. Please contact the Campus Health Insurance Office for more information: chs-insurance@distribution.arizona.edu.
