Health Insurance

Academic HealthPlans is the company that will be providing the VCU-sponsored student health insurance plan for the 2011-12 academic year. Please click on the following link to access information about the plan and applications: www.ahpcare.com/vcu .

There are plans for individual students as well as other options for family/spouse coverage. Although participation in the university sponsored health insurance plan is voluntary, students are strongly urged to enroll or to seek alternate health insurance coverage. Unexpected hospital expenses can interrupt or terminate a student's academic career.

VCU Student Health Services has no infirmary beds and does not cover the cost of emergency room visits, x-rays, medications or hospitalizations. Therefore, it is essential that students have adequate health insurance to cover the rising cost of health care.

Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC)
This group is the administrative liaison between the student community and USHS. The members include staff, faculty and student representatives from both campuses. Members meet periodically to discuss issues related to student health.
