Health
Insurance
Trinity University
requires all students, undergraduate and graduate, enrolled
for nine or more semester hours or enrolled in a full-time
graduate program to have current hospitalization and accident
insurance.
To comply with the mandatory insurance
requirement, students must submit information about their
health insurance to Health Services prior to their initial
registration and each spring before registration for the
following fall semester

If you have
Personal Health
Insurance
Students with personal health insurance
must provide proof of insurance by submitting a copy of

This policy must be renewed annually. Students are
required to enroll before arriving on campus.
The premium of $724 for
2009-2010 will be billed to the student account
and appear on your billing statement in July if
requested before July 1,
2009. |
Please note that
treatment at Health Services does not require insurance;
services are available to all students regardless of insurance
coverage. Health Insurance assures that students can access
health care off campus, consult with a specialist and have
coverage for emergency treatment and hospitalization.
Students are encouraged to carry their
health insurance card at all times.

Deadline

10.
No refund of
premium will be made after the coverage begins on August

change in insurance status before this date you must
contact Health Services, in writing, to provide

Managed
Care
Students from outside the local area
who are covered under managed care plans (e.g., HMOs, POS, and
prescription drug plans) should clarify their coverage while
in San
Antonio. Many such plans restrict
coverage to emergencies only when students are out of their
home coverage area. Please consult your health plan
representative about the nature and limits of coverage for
physician fees, hospital costs, laboratory and radiology
tests, and prescription plans in San
Antonio. Students should be familiar
with their coverage so that they can specify particular labs
or pharmacies if necessary. The Health Services staff may help
identify local resources that meet the requirements of
individual managed care plans. |
