UK will continue its relationship with Aetna
Student Health (formerly known as the Chickering Group)
for the 2008-2009 Student Health Insurance Plan. Same company,
same coverage...new name!
Hospitalization Insurance
Services related to hospitalization, surgical procedures
and accident care (typically "insured services") are
not covered by the health fee. Students are expected to have
their own health insurance to pay these expenses (Note:
International Students are required to have health insurance).
Many students are covered by their parents' insurance.
Students who are no longer considered dependents on
a family policy or who are married need their own policies.
UK Student Group Insurance
Plan
The University Health Service can assist students in obtaining
health insurance coverage. The annual policy provides
year-round coverage. University of Kentucky Lexington
Campus and BCTC Cooper Drive Campus undergraduate students taking
six credit hours or more and University of Kentucky graduate
students are eligible for enrollment. Students also may purchase
coverage for their spouse and/or children.
The premium may be paid by check, VISA or MasterCard. Enrollment
may be continued from one year to the next by re-enrolling within
14 days from the enrollment date. Although students are encouraged
to enroll at the beginning of the school year, enrollment is
available throughout the policy year.
For further information and enrollment dates visit
Aetna Student Health or call University Health Service
(859) 323-5823 ext. 223
International
Students
The University of Kentucky requires all international Students
to have health insurance. For more information on insurance
for International Students, you can go to the Office
of International Affairs Medical Matters web page and scroll
down the page to the section on Insurance, or contact the Office
of International Affairs at 257-4067, ext 238.
Funded
Graduate Students
All enrolled, degree-seeking graduate students with full-time
assistantships or institutional fellowships (or a combination
of the two) are automatically enrolled in the University's student
insurance plan through the Graduate School Fellowship Office.
