Student Health Insurance

Graduate Health Care Coverage Options

Option 1: Health & Counseling Fee (HCF) + Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)

  • Most HCC services are free with the HCF & the SHIP.
  • Low cost co-pays for specialist visits at the HCC (usually $20).
  • Preexisting conditions not excluded for care provided at the HCC.

Option 2: Health & Counseling Fee (HCF) + outside health insurance

  • Many HCC services are discounted or covered after a $10 co-payment with the HCF and outside health insurance.
  • If you carry outside health insurance and come to the HCC for services, you will be required to pay for any service not cover by the Health & Counseling Fee (HCF) at the time of your visit. You can then submit the claim to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Option 3: Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) only

  • If you choose to carry the SHIP only, you will be insured through United Healthcare, the insurance company that partners with the DU.
  • You must pay for all services at the HCC at the time of your visit.
  • Each time you visit the HCC, you must submit the claim to United Healthcare for reimbursement.
  • You must visit the HCC for referrals to a specialist. Primary care provided outside the HCC is always paid at the out-of-network rate of 60% after a $500 deductible.

Option 4: Outside health insurance only

  • You must pay for all services at the HCC at the time of your visit.
  • You must submit claims for reimbursement to your insurance company.
