Insurance/Managed Care Issues
Adequate medical insurance is strongly encouraged prior to university entrance. Students and/or their parents should contact their insurance carrier to determine how college entrance may affect the terms, conditions, and/or procedures of coverage. This is particularly true if the insurance is provided under a manage care plan.
Clarion University - along with 11 other state universities formed a consortium to seek bids for the most comprehensive health plan for students at the most cost effective price.
