Student Plans

Specialized plans for colleges and universities

With UPMC Health Plan's student insurance, college students get world-class doctors when they are sick and health promotion programs to keep them well. These programs are designed around the physical and emotional needs of college students. And all of this is delivered and managed locally, right here in Western Pennsylvania, by people who know the region's health care resources and systems better than anyone else.

College is an exciting period in a student's life, filled with so many things to think about: classes, books, dorm rooms, tuition. With all of that going on, wouldn't it be nice to be free from worry about how to find and pay for health care if they or a dependent becomes sick or injured?

UPMC Health Plan offers you that peace of mind.

That leaves them free to concentrate on education. And after all, isn't that what college is for?


Over 7,000 doctors and 80 hospitals — including the region's best

UPMC Health Plan student health insurance lets you choose to visit any of the more than 80 hospitals and over 7,000 physicians that participate in the Health Plan's network — a network that includes people and facilities rated among the best by sources ranging from Pittsburgh Magazine to U.S. News & World Report.

If your regular doctor does not participate in the Health Plan network, you are still covered. Your student health insurance plan gives you the freedom to see out-of-network providers for only slightly more than the cost to see a participating doctor. Out-of-area students who go home for extended visits or school vacations get to use the doctors and facilities of UPMC Health Plan's national network partner, Private Healthcare Systems. This is the largest proprietary preferred provider organization (PPO) network in the country, with nearly 450,000 providers and over 4,000 facilities.
