2007/2008 Student Health Insurance Policy

USF highly encourages all students to maintain adequate health insurance coverage throughout their academic career. The USF Student Insurance Committee strives to make available an affordable health insurance policy for ALL students (both domestic and international). Pearce and Pearce will service the 2007/2008 Student Health Insurance Policy and the American Fidelity Assurance Company will be the underwriter.

The annual premium for both domestic and international students will be $1253.00 and we recommend that you review the 2007/2008 Brochure. The SIO on the Tampa Campus also plans to administer informational sessions throughout the months of June through September 2007. You can also visit the Pearce and Pearce website at www.studentinsurance.com for additional information, payment options and online enrollment.

The policy is designed to provide benefits for sickness and injury. SHS becomes the primary provider and the insured should seek services at SHS first for non-emergency medical services. In the event that the insured needs to be seen by a specialist or at another facility, SHS will issue a referral. A list of Preferred Providers is available through the SouthCare PPO Network and First Health PPO network (formerly CCN).
