Health Insurance Requirements
University Student Insurance
The University of Minnesota requires students to have health insurance. If you do not have insurance, you may be able to buy coverage from the Office of Student Health Benefits.
Students on the Student Health Benefit Plan can access a virtual or temporary insurance ID card. For instructions on how to do so, visit the Office of Student Health Benefits’ website.
University Staff and Faculty Insurance
We take part in most UPlan health plans. UPlan members may be able to choose Boynton as their primary care clinic. Our Gopher Quick Clinic is open to most UPlan members with copayment, consult your insurance card for details.
Flu shots, health coaching and health screening are offered to UPlan members at no out-of-pocket cost. These benefits also earn Wellness Program points that can lower your UPlan premiums. Learn more about the UPlan on the Office of Human Resources website.
Billing & Student Service Fee
If you have any questions about a bill, call our Patient Accounting Department at 612-624-6985 or visit the Billing web page.
If you are a student who pays the Student Services Fee, the amount of your bill not covered by insurance will be paid for from the Student Services Fee (some exceptions apply).
