Health Center Update: Insurance in College

March 21, 2014

It appears that some of you students are not aware of how to access your insurance.

Here are a few pointers:

• If you have the insurance offered by the school, Aetna, you should have received a card in your mailbox last fall. If you did not, please come by the health center and they can print you a copy.

• If you have insurance through another source, such as you parents, you should have card from them. Check with whomever’s policy you are on and ask for it.

• When you call a provider for your first appointment, have your card in your hand. They will need to register you, and will need to know all those numbers on the card. They will also need to know the name and birth date of the policy holder, so be sure to have that knowledge.

• If you need a provider, your insurance company should be able to give you a list of providers in your area that accept your plan. Look on the back of your card for their number.
