UA 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 UA Campus Health. Please visit the CampusCare page for information on eligibility, coverage dates, cost, and open enrollment deadlines. 
 

Student Health Insurance Plan This is a top-tier medical policy with nationwide coverage and an emergency benefit worldwide. Under this plan, UA 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 preventive and routine services received from in-network providers. Please visit the Student Health Insurance page for information on eligibility, coverage dates, cost, and open enrollment deadlines. 

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. Enrollment for Fall/Spring coverage is only available through the student’s UAccess Student Center account. After logging on to their account, students should select the “Personal” tab and then choose “Campus Health Options”.

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.

The last day to add/cancel coverage for Fall 2022 is September 6, 2022.

Enrolling for Insurance After an Open Enrollment Period

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.
