Beginning in the 2009-2010 school year, Furman does not provide medical insurance for its students.  Please check with your family insurance provider to make sure that the student will be adequately covered while away at school.  Many family insurance policies may provide for emergency coverage while a student is away from home, but do not cover non-emergency situations.  If you have a PPO or HMO, health care providers in Greenville may be considered out of network or out of the service area.

If the student needs to puchase a medical insurance policy, you may do so through United Healthcare.  You can enroll in and pay for the policy by going directly to their website at www.uhcsr.com.  Click on "Find My School's Plan" and follow the online instructions.  If you have questions, please contact UHC Customer Service at 800.767.0700.
