Student Health Insurance
All students are required to carry adequate health insurance that can be used in the Meadville area. Contact your insurance carrier to verify coverage locations.
Health Insurance Facts
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that unless you qualify for a health coverage exemption, all US citizens must carry minimum essential coverage. Allegheny’s students can seek basic care at the Winslow Health Center. However, students will need adequate health insurance for any possible hospital visits, physical therapy, laboratory work, or other services off campus. Medicaid from any state other than Pennsylvania is not covered in Meadville.
