Student Health Services

Health Insurance

All health services offered on campus are covered by University fees. However, care by community providers such as laboratory, x-ray, private physicians/specialists in the community, hospital emergency department visits or hospital admission are subject to private payment or insurance coverage. It is very important that all students be covered by adequate health insurance and be knowledgeable about accessing that coverage. Expenses associated with unexpected serious illness or injury can have a great impact on college financial plans if health insurance coverage is absent or inadequate.

A health insurance plan endorsed by the American College Student Association (ASCA) and underwritten by the Gerber Life Insurance Company of Tennessee is available to all University students. Because this plan is made available to you by The University of Scranton and you will be residing in Pennsylvania after you enroll, it is available to students from any state and can be used anywhere, at home or while traveling at any time during the calendar year - August 1 through August 31st of the enrollment year. Information is available on request from Student Health Services or on-line at www.acsa.com.
