Insurance

Medical insurance coverage is highly recommended for all students and can be obtained with a company of the student's choice, through the parents' insurance company, or through a special student health insurance program offered through the MSU Benefits Office. For more information about health care and health insurance in the United States, International students and scholars can refer to the OISS web page. International students with spouses and/or children in the US should refer to the OISS Family/Dependents Health Insurance web page for very important insurance information.

Managed Care Plans - HMOs, PPOs, Etc.

Managed care plans usually require the student to be seen in their facility or by a participating provider and may not pay for services received at Olin. If a student is covered by a managed care plan outside the Lansing area, the plan may agree to pay for Olin Health Center services if it is approved in advance. Contact your primary care provider to receive advance approval for coverage of services at Olin Health Center. It is very important for students to have a clear understanding of what the insurance company will and will not cover while the student is at MSU.

Options for Uninsured Students

MSU understands the cost for students' health-related expenses can be high. Because of this, the MSU Benefits Office has compiled a list of resources for those students with limited income. If you have questions, please contact the MSU Benefits Office at (517) 353-4434, or (800) 353-4434.
