Preferred Providers

While the Student Insurance Plan is an Open Choice PPO, students are encouraged to use preferred providers. Using medical providers who are in network with Aetna can reduce a student's out of pocket costs. However if your provider is out of network, don't worry benefits are still available. Choose Open Choice PPO under Student Health Medical Plans to find participating providers.

Vision Services

All ISU students who have the Student Health Insurance plan have a vision discount provision automatically included with the premium. Check out participating providers in the EyeMed Vision Care Network.
