Student & Scholar Health Insurance at USA
The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) is provided by UnitedHealthcare Student Resources (UHCSR). For students enrolled in the SHIP, most services that are provided on-site are not subject to co-pays or deductibles. You may have a co-pay or deductible if seen by another provider outside of Student Health.
