Medical Insurance for Graduate Students
The University offers Accident & Sickness Insurance that is voluntary for domestic students. International students with F or J visa status who started their studies at Mizzou during or after fall 1998 are automatically enrolled in the international plan, and other international students are eligible but must sign up.
Qualifying graduate assistants, fellows and instructors are eligible for a subsidy.
Students must re-enroll for the insurance each period to continue annual or semester-by-semester coverage.
Dental
A dental plan is also available, and students do not have to enroll in the Accident & Sickness Insurance to sign up for dental coverage.
Insurance Web Site
Graduate student medical insurance is issued by Aetna Student Health. To obtain a medical insurance plan, students must enroll (sign up) for insurance through the University of Missouri’s
MyZou system. To learn about the details of insurance coverage and the costs, Aetna offers a
dedicated Web page about Mizzou's health insurance plan. Please note that Aetna rates vary for domestic and international students.
Graduate Assistants, Fellows & Instructors: You may be eligible to have your medical insurance premium subsidized. However, enrollment is not automatic. First read about the eligibility for medical insurance subsidy. Then, to confirm your eligibility, contact the coordinator, Karen Gruen at gruenk@missouri.edu .
