Health Insurance - Handbook


Students who pay the health fee qualify for services available at Student Health Services. However, this health fee is not insurance. The health fee does not cover referrals, diagnostic testing, or prescriptions. If you do not have private insurance, it is recommended that you purchase a plan that will give you health care and hospitalization benefits in addition to the Student Health Center services.

The Tennessee Board of Regents has selected an affordable student health insurance plan. All registered students taking six or more credit hours are eligible to participate. If you do have private insurance, be sure to check for (1) covered area for your HMO and (2) age eligibility limitations on your parent's policy.

Detailed information about student health insurance (including pricing and enrollment forms) is available on the Web.

Brochures may be obtained from Student Health Services (898-2988). For other questions, contact Pearce & Pearce, Inc. at 1-800-222-6491.
