The Notre Dame sponsored Student Insurance Plan is an excellent
and affordable plan available to both undergraduate and
graduate students. Health Insurance for undergraduates is
encouraged but not mandated; however, graduate students
must be covered by a health insurance plan.
All registered degree seeking graduate and international students are
automatically enrolled in student insurance plan unless
proof of comparable coverage is provided. The premium of
the student health insurance plan is assigned to your student
account.
If health insurance is desired, student dependents have
a choice of an optional plan described in this booklet. Only
Notre Dame students may use the medical services provided
at the Health Center; however, dependents may have prescriptions
filled at the University Health Center Pharmacy according
to University policy and the benefits of their plan.
Note that no insurance plan provides 100% coverage, and
the University does not assume responsibility for any medical
cost incurred by students
Any questions may be directed to Charlotte Bostic, Administrative Assistant with Student Health Insurance, at (574) 631-6114 or to Customer
Service at United Healthcare, 1- (800) 767-0700.
