Student Health Clinic

Insurance

We recommend all students have health insurance. You are responsible for all charges not covered by the Student Health Fee when you visit the SHC.

You are responsible for starting the process to file insurance claims. The SHC can't automatically file claims for you. Your insurance company may request additional medical information from you, the SHC or other medical providers. This may delay payment of claims.

If you have health insurance, please present your insurance card at the time of check-in. Our staff will make a copy of your card. We require an Insurance Consent Form signature before insurance can be filed. The form will ask you to provide the name of your insurance company, subscriber information and policy numbers. This form also is available online.

Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)

The University of Northern Iowa is concerned about the potential threat the high cost of health care can pose to a student’s financial well-being. For this reason, UNI offers health insurance coverage to students through the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), a group policy administered by Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Iowa through the University of Iowa Benefits Office.
