Student Injury and Sickness
Health Plan

Exclusive benefit for AMSA members

UnitedHealthcare

Many schools require their medical students to purchase adequate health insurance while pursuing a degree. The student injury and sickness insurance plan exclusively for AMSA members may help members meet their school’s requirement while offering choices to fit their needs and their budget.

For over 10 years, thousands of members have taken advantage of this reliable protection. Learn more about plan details at www.uhcsr.com/AMSA or call UnitedHealthcare StudentResources at 800-505-5450. Members can enroll online in just minutes and pay conveniently by credit card or eCheck.

Here are a few highlights of the 2011/2012 AMSA Student Injury and Sickness plan:

  • Inpatient and outpatient benefits from August 1, 2011 to July 31, 2012

  • UnitedHealth Allies®: Although not insurance, this discount plan provides 5% to 50% discounts on dental, vision, fitness and wellness products and services to help members stretch their healthcare dollars.

  • Collegiate Assistance Program: This program allows members 24/7 telephonic and online access to registered nurses and masters level clinicians for confidential guidance on physical and mental health concerns, supported in 160 languages.

  • Repatriation and evacuation benefits provided through Assist America

  • Health Insurance 101: an online resource available for students at http://www.uhcsr.com designed to help define and clarify the often confusing world of health insurance and its jargon.

  • Resources for members to manage their account 24/7 via the web, mobile MyAccount application, and a toll-free phone line. From reviewing policy information and requesting a new ID card to viewing claims’ statuses and finding a network physician, we’ve got members covered on their schedule, not ours.

Residents of New York and Massachusetts have a plan specific to their state, so please be sure to select the appropriate plan. Plans not available in New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Vermont and Washington.
