Student Health Insurance Plan
NIU offers its students a health insurance plan that
protects students at school, at home, and while traveling or studying abroad.
Beginning fall 2012, the NIU Student Health Insurance plan
will be underwritten by United HealthCare Student Resources.
New
covered benefits will include:
- Preventive
services – covered 100% with no copy or coinsurance up to $100,000. This includes immunizations, Pap test,
Well-care
- Allergy
– office visits, testing and shots will be covered at 80% co-insurance
- Physical
Therapy – covered with no limit
- Chiropractic
care – covered with no limit
- Birth
control – all forms covered 100% (if a generic brand is available and the

Enrollment in the plan is
automatic for students registered for 9 or more on campus hours and for all
international students. Student’s who register for
at least 6 hours on or off campus, may enroll in the plan by completing an enrollment form.
