Student Health Insurance Coverage for COVID-19

Dear Students & Families,

Please read below if you are or have a student enrolled in a student health insurance plan. We wanted to address your main questions about COVID-19 and how it is covered under your student health insurance plan when you are on-campus, home or traveling. Each insurance company is different, so please navigate to the one that you are covered by below. You can find information about your insurance company and benefits by locating your plan brochure on your school specific homepage (For example, www.gallagherstudent.com/SCHOOLNAMEorABBREVIATION).

All plans have Preferred Provider Networks with hundreds of providers and hospitals around the nation that will provide the same coverage whether you are on-campus, home or traveling. You should continue to seek in-network providers to receive the care at the lowest out-of-pocket costs.
