STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE

The University of Missouri-Kansas City, with Aetna Student Health, offers a student-focused health insurance plan that protects you at school, at home and while traveling abroad.  You may find detailed Plan information on-line, at the following website:  http://www.aetnastudenthealth.com/stu_conn/student_connection.aspx?groupID=890439.

 

 

What Is The Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan All About?

The following are highlights of the Plan coverage; more detailed information can be obtained in the Plan Pamphlet.

§  Coverage is available from:   8/15/09-8/14/10-Domestic Students,

8/1/09-7/31/10-International Students

§  Access to Providers nationwide

§  Prescription Coverage

§  Vision and Alternative Health Discounts

§  Emergency Travel Assistance Services

 

Why Is A Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan Important?

UMKC will not assume any financial responsibility for your medical bills, and you are strongly encouraged to maintain health insurance.  If you have been covered by a parents' policy, please review it carefully to make certain you are still eligible for coverage. Employer plans often do not cover students after they reach a certain age, and HMO's may provide limited coverage when away from home. If you are interested in learning more or if you are not adequately covered, be sure to take advantage of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan on-line at:  http://www.aetnastudenthealth.com/stu_conn/student_connection.aspx?groupID=890439

 

International Students

Non-immigrant international students, scholars & OPT/AT participants holding F or J documents from UMKC are eligible.  Enrollment is mandatory for non-immigrant international students & scholars.  Most students are automatically enrolled.  OPT/AT participants are not automatically enrolled and must obtain an application from the International Center which must be mailed directly to Aetna Student Health.

 

Insured Dental Program

It’s also time to enroll in Your Dental Plan.  Taking care of your teeth is a health priority.  Your school-sponsored Aetna Student Health insurance plan offers you a separate dental insurance plan that may fit your needs.  More information can be found at:  http://www.aetnastudenthealth.com/stu_conn/student_connection.aspx?groupID=890439

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Aetna Student Health Customer Service Department at (877) 375-7905.
