STUDENT INSURANCE
2009-2010
Student Insurance Website
The University of Texas System contracts with United Healthcare Insurance to provide a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) insurance plan to UTA students. A few basic benefits of this plan are outlined below. Please access the online brochure for complete coverage information.
Treatment at the Health Center
Some procedures performed at the Health Center are covered at 100%. This coverage includes laboratory, pharmacy (co-pays are $10/generic, $15/brand name), x-rays, most gynecology (click here for details), and mental health visits. Preventive procedures such as immunizations are not covered. Pre-existing conditions and the annual deductible do not apply to visits at the Health Center.
We can fill prescriptions for GTA's and GRA's covered by UT Select.
Treatment at another Facility
When it is necessary to have treatment at a facility other than the UTA Health Center, an annual deductible of $300 (for each plan member) must be met before the insurance company will consider reimbursement (including pharmacy charges). Once this deductible is met, the insurance company will reimburse you at a rate of either 80% (preferred providers) or 60% (non-preferred providers) for covered procedures.
The insurance company will not cover pre-existing conditions until you have been insured for one full year without a break in coverage. If you have been covered by another insurance within the last 63 days, the pre-existing clause does not apply to you. Please inform the insurance company of your previous coverage.
Please consult your insurance brochure for spouse/children premiums.
Optional Dental and Vision Plans for Student Insurance
As always, if you have any questions concerning your insurance plan, you may contact the Health Center at 817-272-2771.
If you have UT Select, the vision and dental plans mentioned in this section do not apply to your insurance. If you are interested in purchasing dental or vision coverage, please contact the UTA Human Resources Department at 817-272-5554

UT Select is a PPO plan that covers most procedures performed at the Health Center. Since we are providers for UT Select, procedures performed here are considered "in-network" and will be claimed to your insurance. If your covered family members are UTA students or faculty/staff, we provide services to them also, but do not claim your insurance for treatment.
- As a GTA, GRA, TA, or RA covered by UT Select (bring your insurance card) you may utilize the Health Center without paying a co-pay for your general medical visit as long as you are an enrolled student in the current semester.
- Faculty/Staff covered by UT Select may utilize the Health Center on an urgent care basis, but will be responsible to pay the co-pays for general medical visits and prescriptions. Please call 817-272-2771 for an appointment (bring your insurance card).
- Expedite your appointment by completing these forms ahead of time.
