Student Health Plan
Health care is an important and often contentious issue. Recognizing that, Pacific Union College wants to be proactive regarding the health care needs of every student that attends. In response to increasing health care costs, PUC has determined that providing our own insurance plan for all students is both smart and economical.
Beginning September 1, 2012, all students registered for six units or more are automatically enrolled in the new student health plan. Under the plan, all services requiring a physician, whether provided on or off campus, are fully covered, and visits to the on-campus health clinic are free. If PUC cannot provide a necessary service while a student is at school, we will make any additional arrangements necessary. We customize each student's coverage to address both ongoing and unexpected needs.
The plan is designed to ensure that no student is without essential medical coverage, and that all student requiring medical services can get back to their studies and on with their lives as quickly as possible.
According to the American College Health Association, the average cost of student health plans across the country is $850 per school year. Recognizing that private higher education is already a big investment, PUC provides this full coverage, 12-month plan for only $600.
