Healthcare Services at Tippie

As a University of Iowa student, you have an array of excellent healthcare and insurance options available to you.

The University Student Health Service provides medical care for all registered students. Minor surgery is performed and routine laboratory procedures can be completed on site. The Student Health Service staff can draw on any of the specialty services of the University's Hospitals and Clinics for consultation and/or treatment by referral.

We strongly recommend that you obtain adequate health insurance. A group insurance plan with provisions for individuals and families is available through the University. International students are required to have health insurance.

Insurance information is mailed to all newly admitted students prior to the opening of fall classes and is available prior to other sessions from the Benefits Office, 120 University Services Building. Information regarding available coverage may be found at www.uiowa.edu/~shs/ship.htm. Information regarding costs is available at www.uiowa.edu/hr/benefits/healthinfo/.
