Student Health Insurance

All students are required to have health insurance. Office visits in Student Health are covered by student fees. Any labs (including pap smears) and diagnostic tests ordered in Student Health are billed to your insurance company. All office visits outside of Student Health are billed to your insurance company as well. You are responsible for charges that are not covered by your insurance.

Graduate Students and Registered Postdoctoral Trainees

• Graduate students who have a stipend and postdoctoral trainees are offered the UT Select BlueCross BlueShield PPO plan.
• If a graduate student does not have a stipend, he or she must get insurance elsewhere, either through United Health Care (click on "college students") or a private insurance company of their choice.

Medical and Allied Health Students

The State of Texas has contracted with United Health Care to provide an affordable insurance option for Texas students. However, students may choose any private insurance company of their liking.

All students are required to obtain and maintain health insurance coverage while enrolled at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Students need to be knowledgeable of the specific coverage of their own individual plans. Insurance plans vary and not all services are covered.
