Health Insurance
Health Services at EMU is delighted to have your son/daughter as a student here. Should your son/daughter need medical attention while a student, we have a medical provider available Monday through Friday. We bill insurance for medical services. You will note on the Health Insurance Information page of the “REQUIRED HEALTH INFORMATION FORM” that there are several options related to insurance coverage.
If your son/daughter is on your health insurance plan, PLEASE be sure to NOTIFY YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY. By notifying your health insurance company, you will be informed if there are additional forms to complete, or what you need to do, to ensure you receive the best coverage for your son/daughter while here at EMU.
If you want to have more detailed information about insurance coverage at EMU read this letter from the the director of health services.
