Student Health Insurance
In order to protect your health and help support your academic success at SEU, the university requires that every student have a health insurance policy that is active in the Austin area.
The University offers a lower cost health insurance plan that covers up to 90% of the cost of most minor events that might "sideline" a healthy student. If you have purchased insurance through SEU in the past, please note that this is a new insurance plan from a different company: ACE American Insurance Company, administered by Academic HealthPlans.
In order to understand your insurance policy and maximize your coverage, it is important that you take a few minutes to review the details of your Student Health Insurance Plan.
As with any plan, please read the brochure carefully to understand the benefits as well as the exclusions and limitations. If you have a serious or chronic medical condition, this limited benefit plan may not cover all of your medical expenses.
Some of the plan benefits are:
- $200 yearly claim limit for prescriptions, through RxWest. After reaching the maximum you are still eligible to receive prescriptions at a discounted cost
- $1,000 claim maximum for outpatient day surgery operating room benefit
- $25,000 Lifetime Maximum per condition
- Optional Major Medical benefit with a $50,000 total Lifetime Maximum benefit
- Pre-existing conditions are covered after 12 months of continuous coverage
- Global Emergency Services, including medical evacuation and repatriation provided by Assist America, Inc.
*** IF you currently have a serious medical condition, or want protection in case an adverse accident or medical condition occurs in the future, we recommend that you look into and purchase more extensive medical insurance coverage as soon as possible.
