Student Health Insurance

United Healthcare 

Many schools require physical therapy students to purchase adequate health insurance while pursuing a degree. The APTA Student Injury and Sickness insurance plan * provided by UnitedHealthcare StudentResources may help you meet your school's requirement.  

Designed with students in mind, highlights of the 2011/2012 APTA Student Injury and Sickness insurance plan include:

  • Inpatient and outpatient benefits. Choose between two plan options, each with a choice of deductible and flexible payment options to fit your budget. Once you enroll, you may choose to extend coverage to your dependents too. 
  • Value-added benefits.  Enjoy discounts up to 50% on dental, vision, fitness, and wellness products and services, including sports apparel and equipment, fitness club memberships, and even textbooks. In addition, you'll get 24/7 telephone and online access to registered nurses and clinicians for physical and mental health guidance that may save you a trip to the Emergency Department.
  • 24/7 Self-service.  Access your student insurance information anytime by computer or mobile device. You can check claims status, review policy information, and request a new ID card on your schedule, not ours. 
  • Online resources. Get online tools designed to help you understand your student insurance, from an overview of health care to a glossary of common insurance terms.  

Visit the APTA Student Health Plan page for a complete explanation of benefits, including exclusions and limitations, periods of coverage, and costs.
