Summer Coverage

Continuous year‐round coverage is available. If a student is participating in six or more credit hours of pre‐registered summer course work (by May 18, 2020), which assesses general fees, the student is automatically enrolled in, and assessed a fee for the Plan. If a student received academic credit for at least nine hours & was insured in the spring, and will not enroll for sufficient summer hours to be assessed an insurance fee, the summer fee can be applied for through MYISU. After Central Login, click on Student Center, then click on the NaviBar (top right of page), then ISU Extensions, and finally Student Insurance ( see path here ). Summer 2020 coverage can be requested between April 17, 2020 and May 18, 2020.

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.
