Whether you are hunting for insurance for the first time or are replacing an expired policy, there are many options available to prospective and current students of the University. While our office does not assist with the process of applying for insurance, we can connect students with resources to access health insurance.

Note: University Health Services bills for all services. Uninsured individuals who qualify, may apply for a reduction in the cost for these services. Individuals who do not qualify for a reduction in costs will be billed directly by our third party billing partner using the patient’s contact information located in their MaineStreet account. UHS does not post health related bills to student’s MaineStreet accounts.
