At the beginning of the year, you will receive an email from our health insurance provider, which includes the ISO Brochure<\/a>. This brochure outlines what type of treatment is covered and what it will cost. The email will also include a\u00a0health insurance card<\/a>. Please immediately print this card out and place it in your wallet. You could even cover it in tape<\/a> or laminate it to make it stronger. You need to do this because if you ever visit a doctor outside of the Trinity health center, you will need to present it to avoid a hassle later on.<\/p>\n

Some Insurance Terms<\/h5>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Premium<\/td>\nAmount of money you pay upfront to have an insurance policy. For international students, this totaled $1,416 in 2019. It is charged to your student billing account.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Co-pay<\/td>\nThe money you pay at the doctor’s office for each visit, regardless of the treatment you receive. A visit to the Student Health Center costs a co-pay of $20. An Emergency Room visit costs a $200 co-pay.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Deductible<\/td>\nThe amount of money you are expected to pay before the rest is covered by insurance. Your plan has a $0 deductible for “in-network” providers, including the Trinity Health Center. This means visits to the health center and other in-network providers should cost only a co-pay.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
In-network<\/td>\nThe set of health care providers who accept your insurance. You can search for in-network providers here<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
