The University sponsored plan requires students to use Campus Health Services for routine health care. Specialty care is provided through the Anthem BC/BS provider network. For more information visit Academic HealthPlans.
Referrals are not required but are suggested because Campus Health Services can obtain appointments within the University system which decreases the cost for the student. If you have an after-hour emergency, you may use any immediate/urgent care center or emergency room. These services are subject to annual deductibles and copayments.
Obtaining a referral is not a guarantee of payment but notifies the insurance plan of a pending claim. Final determination of benefits is determined by the insurance company.
Students may use any of the local hospitals in the Louisville area or nationwide. However, UofL Hospital provides deeper discounts for services.
Yes. Using the Anthem network will be less expensive if available. See the Academic Health Plans website for information on how to locate an Anthem provider.
International students are not covered when they require services in their home country.
Yes. Worldwide coverage and travel assistance is available including air ambulance transfer back to the United States if medically necessary. Please contact Academic Health Plans at (855) 852-4191 for more information.
