All Morris students who register for six or more credits are required to have health insurance coverage. You will have the opportunity to choose either “already covered by an insurance company” or to “Buy University Insurance” when you register for classes each term. If you are an American Indian student registered with and covered by Indian Health Services choose “already covered by an insurance company”, and when it requests the name of the company and policy number please enter “Registered with and covered by Indian Health Services” and your student ID number.
If you‘re bringing health insurance with you, carry a copy of your health insurance card with you at all times. If you’re insured through a family member’s policy, contact that insurance plan‘s administrator and ask the following questions:
- What is the out-of-network (or out-of-state) medical coverage while attending Morris?
- How is off-campus, nonemergency health care covered?
- Whom should I contact and where should I seek treatment if Health Service providers need to refer me to a specialist in the Morris area?
- How can I get emergency coverage after hours or on weekends?
All degree-seeking Morris students registered for six or more credits are eligible to participate in the University of Minnesota Student Health and Benefit Plan and the University Supplemental Dental Plan.
For additional information regarding the University's Insurance deadlines the UMM Registrar's Office can assist you.
